Bought these frags knowing they werent doing well but they were $5 so I took a chance on them. If I can bring them back then I got a good deal and if not then O well it was 5 bucks. Any tips on getting these back healthy and growing?

Low to medium light has worked for me, periodic target feeding and give it time. Most (IMO) corals are hardier than we think, I have over $600 in revived coral thats in my tank now ;) Just picked up a piece of rubble rock with close to 30 red and pink Zoas on it. LFS didn't want to sell in display rack, so just threw it in ruble bin at 4.99 per pound lol rock was .1lb lol.... I gave em $3 bucks and called it a day.... Point is it can be done..... Word of warning though...... If you see it crashing further get it out cause you don't want it to crash your whole system. I use 10 days as my guide and if worse throw out, if looking same or better go another 10 and check back. Hope this helps and good luck ;)

Low light, low flow and feed if they will accept it. Both pieces look totally savable to me. The second one doesn't even look unhealthy to me.

I wasnt sure about the second one but had to be a reason it was so cheap.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
