Hollywood Stunner Chalice

He has been chilling, but I have recently gone through an Alk swing from 10 down to 7.85, and my phosphates were high at 0.25 and I got them down to 0.3-0.1 range (with putting chemi-pure in the filter sock), closer to 0.3 though. Do you think he will be fine? He had growth before, which to me tells me he liked the spot. Since then I havent changed flow or lights just those two parameters. LFS said he will come back as they are resilient, what do you guys think about the situation?

how would you frag one per say? never have.

they tend to want to shatter when fragged, best bet try scoring w razor blade ,then cut/snap off
if see no more recession ,should recover as said

How did you attach it to the rock? Been dealing with glueing issues with mine where it'll just fall off. If I press too hard the skeleton just crumbles so I'm not sure what to do.
Tried superglue, reef putty, and a frag plug.

An iodine dip could go a long way in helping stop further recession.

is this out of water? I don't have capability to take my rocks out of the water anymore.
I just wrapped the back half in putty, which killed half the colony but hey it is what it is

 

[fishguy242]
