Hi Everyone, I am looking for some advice from experienced sps keepers. I have a soft ball size Tri Color Acro and about 20 percent of it died off. I believe it was due to flow. I have corrected the problem, which leads to the question of what is best to do now? Should I cut the dead spots out/off or just leave it alone. I know I could probably do either, however I want to know what's best for the corals health. Thanks, Dennis
 
Hi! You’re going to get opinions on both sides of the fence. There are valid arguments for both sides. Personally, I would cut it back & separate some of the good chunks left. Toss the questionable pieces. Check it thoroughly for pests, even if you think there are none. Save what you can. Hope that helps.

Everything helps! Thanks
