ZOMBIE Setosa, back from the dead

[bct15]

During my crash at the end of last year I had a decent sized colony of a montipora Setosa which was one of my wife's favorite corals. I had about 8 frags on frag plugs in my frag tank and each one of them died during my crash, but I left the frag plugs with skeletons in my fuge. Recently I needed the plugs so I broke off the skeletons and trashed them, glued the new coral to the plug and out it in my display. A few weeks ago I seen some red on one of the plugs, upon further examination I realized it was a Setosa polyp growing out of a piece of skeleton that had encrusted on the plug but dead for months. A few weeks later and you can tell it is coming back to life. Now I regret trashing all of those pieces of skeleton. Check it out below...

Cool! Good luck with the rebirth

Nice! 1 polyp is all sps need to come back. I leave frags that "look" completely dead until they are encrusted with coraline, then I chuck them at that point. I've had miracles happen before.
