Green slimer frag turned white in hours

[Jamie b]

Just bought my first online frags

2x green slimers & 2x red monti digi both arrived in little pots.
Once opened the the green slimers started producing slime and shredding colour. Acclimated and put in tank around midday come back at six and they look like they’ve slimed all the neon green away and are completely white. Only way I can describe it is as if spray paint has flaked away.


Parameters all in line & all other corals growing fine under radions.

Has the stress killed them in hours or will they come back....

Pictures? Sounds like RTN and they are dead.

They might be dead, but perhaps not. Can you observe polyps on the white background? I got an Aussie green acro a few years back and it came snow white from the vendor. Since I could see small polyps, I decided to try feeding it (since corals are animals after all). 3x / week, I took it out of the tank and put in a small jar with tank water and added a cube of frozen rotifers. After some weeks of this, the coral started to regain its color and grew for quite a while before I lost it in a tank crash last year.

shortly after arrival (it was much more white than it appears here)



after a year in my nano tank

Pictures and parameters will help. Sounds like RTN to me as well, unfortunately.
