Tissue Loss

[goody]

Two days ago I decided to finally clear one of my frag racks and glue several frags on my rocks. I ended up having to move some colonies around to make some room. The next day, a few of my colonies and frags have tissue loss. I've checked my parameters and they are good. I'm pretty sure it has to do with handling them and stressing them out.

Do you think these corals will recover? I was thinking of using Brightwell's Restor. Anybody use this product with good results? I will try and post pics. tonight.

try to leave the cuts alone and wait probably they heal .

I have been using Restor with great results. The new cuttings heal quickly and encrust the epoxy or glue within days.

However, you should watch alk and ph when you do move things. It may be part of the problem

Will definitely watch ph and alk. Now that you mention epoxy, it makes me wonder if after kneading the aquamend epoxy, if I have some of that on my fingers and touch the coral, could this cause the tissue loss? Or I did have two tricolors that had a lot of "slime" coming off when I moved them. Not sure what the "slime" is, but could it have landed on these few corals and cause the problems I'm seeing?

Yes the residue will cause stress if you put it on the corals. Try to wear gloves or wash your hands before attaching the coral.
