I think right now I will just take that entire rock out and dispose of it. That should slow the spread until I can get my arms around this.

Not looking good. I broke off some frags of the center dead coral. Best pictures I could get. I don’t know what they are, but I suspect they shouldn’t be there. eggs? And what kind?

Even these initial pictures have those yellow orange sporadic eggs.

 

[robanister]

Yes, it does appear the same. Make sure to document your treatment method.

I’m curious how long these eggs take to hatch. I wish you had a few QT’s setup for experimenting with.

By dispose of it, you mean mail it to @Reefahholic to do some experimenting with?

 

[billyocean]

Kcl dip will kill them...2 tablespoons per gallon of dip
8-10 weeks....once a week

Or..another newer option is drain and spray kcl solution and refill tank
4 weeks..once a week. I would recommend more weeks though

Big rock with 8 colonies on it. Would take a big box.

The abbreviation for Chlorine is Cl. Lowercase L

People are just typing all caps with KCL but in nomenclature a word with a two letter abbreviation the second letter is lowercase

The hatch times of aefw are temperature dependent from what I've read. If they follow "normal" aefw temps I do not know.

Well simple really . Montipora was overtaking acros. No more montipora rofl. Drained tank torched and moved on with my 3 months everyone else lost trying to control it.

Knew I had it wrong. Makes sense now why I keep seeing KCL.
