There's certainly a chance to save it.
These are recent saved of frags rtn during shipping. I took drastic measures w super glue to isolate the die off. Works, most of the time.

You can see the tenuis is encrusting over the super glue, despite algae. I mean how does sps encrust on algae covered rock?

That is awesome, pretty tenuis too. I have tried the superglue trick only one time, and didn't have much luck, but would not hesitate to try again if the need arises. Definitely a good tool/trick to have in the toolbox!
 
Woa, its been a hot minute. Kida forgot about poor Bill just chilling on the rack. I did strip off the rest of the dead skeleton, except that one little spot where it is starting to curl. Looking pretty healthy now though, even if growth is still pretty slow.

I love seeing this stuff. I have a couple of itty bitty pieces growing myself. I'm only 2 years into sticks and find it feels pretty darn good to save one once in a while. This one is my first success. Getting it out and into my SPS tank was the game changer I think.

This is one coming back from a little nub. It wasn't dying tho just a little piece left behind. When I started I used to toss that stuff.

As it gets bigger the growth compounds.
Good for you for not giving up on them!

Very nice, those are some healthy looking sticks! I particularly like the purple one.
