Did it get cut in half?
Yes. It was cut in half in April. I could not afford the entire piece nor did I have space for such a massive colony. I asked the store owner to cut it in half for me. It had just arrived from Australia the day before.

Thats the same one you sent before right? That is definitely looking like there is improvement there. Man that thing must of looked pretty rough when you p saved him. At this point my wilso basically is fluffy and puffed up but really not returning color like i would of thought just that really bright green fluorescent veins seem to be getting more intense. You can tell that its had a rough ride and you really did a great job getting it to that point. That can recover and be an amazing coral. Def keep the pictures coming
Mine is continuing to improve. There is quite a bit of lost tissue, but I've been feeding it a lot again and it's certainly puffing up a lot more. Will update again in another 2 weeks or so.
This has been the greatest thread to follow, I love obscure corals!
laughing my *** off that you told @living_tribunal his looked like it had been in a car accident ;Hilarious ;Hilarious
“The uncle with stories to tell” lmaoooolol Well both of our wilsoni don't look great. Each in a very different way. Mines more of a got stuck in tanning bed or something. His just looks like that uncle that has stories to tell because you surely know its seen somethings in its day. @living_tribunal is doing an excellent job at rehab and without his input and his similar situation its very likely I would of lost mine. So I am grateful I found this thread as well.
On another note @living_tribunal I started to feed my reef energy A and B at night awhile ago but it was just broadcast into the tanks raceways. Well a week ago a friend gave me a million syringes and blunt tip needles. I figured might as well put them to good use so instead of broadcast feeding I "target" fed if you want to call it that (didn't really turn flow down). I am noticing now a rapid increase in size and fluffiness. Dare I say slight colors returning??? I guess youll have to judge later when I can take them and post.
not much but yes ive got it at 76 but I think that's as low as I can go for lps dominate tank.“The uncle with stories to tell” lmaoooo
keep up the good work! I rehabbed a goniopora Stokesi, but I think these might be on a whole new level as far as difficulty goes. Do you run your tank at a lower temp?

I keep mine on the high side (77.5-79.5) swings every day. The Goni is from Indonesia and is happiest at the warmer temps, but for the exact same reason I don’t run it any hotter! People that keep the easy corals just don’t understand the struggle lolnot much but yes ive got it at 76 but I think that's as low as I can go for lps dominate tank.

I’ll be really interested to see how much these will color up in the next couple of months, LT has showed me some really wild pics of what they are capable of looking like.
Those brains seem like giant sponges for food, why not aminos as well?Target feeding aminos seems pretty interesting! I’ve always thought of it as just adding the nutrients into the water column so it could be absorbed like aminos are in the wilsos habitat.
I’m interested to hear how that works out, might be more efficient. Post pics soon so I’m not the only one spamming here.

You told us that the other day/I swear on my existence I just told my Gf I'd like to find some struggling wilsoni and try to rehab more. I'm no expert but I think it's progressing well.
I think the carbs in A maybe they can consume more typically. And once they start chowing A of course B gets ingested too. I have no idea I figured id just give it a shot and EVERYTHING looks happier.because aminos don’t work like that lol. That’s like saying “let’s target feed alk!”
Wilsos are the hungriest coral bar none. Mine eats more than a single fish.
His inability to proofread makes me want to throw things.I found two posts from @Jake Adams who rehabilitated a very bleached wilso.
He said after 3 months it had developed a ton of brown spots and turned into this:
A few more months passed and that same wilso looked like this
Got me salty seems to be target feeding successfully, I was just making an observationbecause aminos don’t work like that lol. That’s like saying “let’s target feed alk!”
