Any chance to save this chalice?

[the captive reef]

Hey guys/gals,

I got this chalice from a vendor and it came in REALLY ruff and I have now had it for a week and it has been getting worse everyday.

What would you do to try and save it? Can it be saved?

thanks,

Mike

Everytime a chalice gets bleached white like that, it takes forever to get its color back. I would try salvaging a portion that still has its colors and shading the rest under eggcrate. Iodine or Amino Acid dips doesn't seem to help much either, IME.

Where ever it's showing skeleton frag it off immediately!!

Yup. Throw it under a shelf and let it sit for a while and see what it does. They bleach/fade colors a lot faster than they put them back on, but they can come back from very little.

low light with good feeding can come back

Razorblade to the edge where it is receding - then soak in restore from brightwells is what I do
Good luck Mike - thanks for the order today!
I give it 10% to make it though - just part of the deal I think on some of the wild stuff
