After setting up a new tank, cycling, moving in 'clean' cheato and CUC. Then setting up a QT, cycling that, dipping my coral with bayer prior to going into QT. Leaving them for a month to watch for problems.....I moved the coral to display
I checked on my coral today on lunch and very much looks like montipora eating nudibranch. Only the montipora is effected. I re-dipped and put them back into the QT. My theory is the light is lower in the display right now and they were out/more active during the day.
Dr. G's dip is on the way.
Any ways, how would you guys proceed? I literally only have two orders of frags, first one from Vivid, the second from WWC. Who knows which they came in on, both had montiopra, though I tend to lean toward WWC as they came second, though I do not know the duration of a MEN life cycle.
Should I contact their customer support? Write off the corals as a loss? Pretty disappointed. I thought these were premium vendors and I was being extra careful with dipping and QT.
