These Favias had been doing well until they started getting cyano on their edges. I blew it off a few times, but now they are looking like this. Is there any chance of saving them?
need better pics in white light, but I still see flesh, so still possible to recover. Would need all the details about your tank to offer more suggestion; how old is the tank, what are the water parameters, what type of lighting and flow, any other corals in the tank and how are they doing?
I have a 5" diameter favia that was healthy and growing and then for some reason went down hill until all but 2 polyps were gone ( white skeleton). I left it alone and then after a month or so I noticed there were 2-3 new polyps over the existing white skeleton. After a few months the favia re-populated the entire original skeleton and is now spreading.
Don't give up.
Do these pics help? There's 1 torch, 4 zoas, 3 polys, 4 Florida ricordia 1 blasto and an aycan. All are good except for the hammer, but I think that was a placement and seems to be doing better since I moved it. The favias were good until the cyano got on it.
