Recently picked up this rock with several Yumas on it. Since I dipped them they are not doing well. They have been in my tank for about a week now. Bought some other frags a few days after these guys and those are all out and doing well. Here are recent water parameters:
Salinity 1.25
Ph 8.1
No detectable ammonia
Nitrate .05 ppm
Calcium 420
Alkalinity 8.4 dkh
Phosphate .03 ppm

Once they start declining they usually are pretty hard to get to bounce back... sometimes throwing them in the shade might help, but more than likely these are goners. Most of the wild orange yumas are melters in captivity.

I've found Yuma's to be hard to recover from dipping. Mine took several months to recover. Give it some time and let us knowhow it works out..

Thanks for all the input. Moved them to a shadier area in the tank with slightly lower flow. One has already totally melted and another one is in progress. One is just hanging on not doing anything but not looking good. There is also a tiny baby one on the rock that doesn't seem to be doing anything either. Here is an updated picture

the top one seems to just be hanging on. Bottom one is the one that is melting and you can see the small baby one at the bottom middle of the rock.

Give them some time, they'll probably come back for you. The one I had are growing like weeds now.
So don't give up yet;)
