Yep, it's the "Fuzzy Watermelon" from Mr. Coral. I'll try to get an updated pic over the next few days. In the meantime, here's a few pics through the glass from today.

Came home from work this morning to a acro colony randomly suffering from RTN. Everything else looks great and a check of parameters pointed out no obvious culprit. I clipped a few of the tips in an attempt to save a couple pieces, but luckily it was a colony I planned to sell off soon anyway. Just hoping that it doesn't spread :squigglemouth:

Well two days have gone by and nothing else RTNed, but the affected colony is completely gone. Even the frags I cut suffered from RTN by yesterday morning. Not sure what the problem was, but at least it freed up space for a frag or two that have grown too big for the frag tank...

So sorry about the RTN issue. This is what makes this hobby frustrating sometimes. When you don't know what the issue is? :confused: Anyway, glad there was no other RTN.

So sorry to hear this, but glad it has not spread to other colonies. We have had that happen with two different A. desalwii colonies.

I recently managed to introduce flukes into my system and the tangs seemed to be hit the hardest. I dosed Prazipro and at the advice of M&T picked up a cleaner wrasse (Thanks again Terry!). I just finished round one of the treatment and got my skimmer back online today and the fish look significantly better. I'll be doing a second treatment this coming weekend if time permits. While doing a water change, I decided to take the laser to some anthelia & scrape some coralline. Here's an updated FTS as of today:

Apparently, everyone thought it was feeding time!
