Does this look alive?

[MikeyZo]

One of my acros doesn’t seem to have polyps anymore, but it’s hard for me to tell because they are so small and my eyes suck. But even their pictures are throwing me for a loop. Just want the experts help. I don’t want to pull it if it’s still alive. It is still fluorescent under blues but even that’s hard to tell.

It looks like it's a goner to me, sorry

 

[MikeyZo]

It happens. I don’t lose sleep over it. Im surprised my other SPS are doing well with the stock LED on my Biocube Jr.

 

[CBonito]

Only if it's zombiepora.

You can't lose sleep over it. Some just die and others do great. It all depends on the tank its in and how it's able to adapt. There are certain things I can't keep either.

 

[MikeyZo]

These ones are doing well

 

[CBonito]

Yeah the others look ok. You might want to up the current a little bit, but otherwise they look fine.
Every batch of coral I've ever bought, something dies. Fish can be even worse.

Like others have said some times corals just don't make it.
I would just leave it and see what it does. I have had some recover and others not in an otherwise healthy system.

Yeah. I’ll leave t in. I think I’ll move it too and see if anything happens

Nah, that one is a goner fo sho!
If you look really close at that photo which was very good BTW, it's only skeleton. The tissue is gone.
I have a rock compartment in my mud refugium full of those.

It's more like my hidden compartment of shame.

I just got some lenses for the iPhone, took them out to test and took that pic. Got a few other good ones…

I have the same thing, great way to boost pod populations.

So the original was taken out of water?

 

[CBonito]

I think I have a macro lens in my orphek filters. I should try using that someday...I was just complaining about an Aussie Gold I have where I couldnt see the polyps beause they're small...well Hello!!!

It's kind of like looking for your keys when they're in your hand.

It is!

If you put it up against another sps, will it encrust over it? lol skeletal recycling

Yes, something thin like cyphastrea or porites, would probably keep the shape the best.

You can call it a "milletenuis", sell frags for 500 bucks each and just stand there and comb your hair on Youtube for the rest of your life.

If only it was thst easy
