    I have a small birdsnest colony that fell into a carpet anenome, it was only in it for a bit on one side. Do you think that the whole thing will die or just the one side?

    Most likely just the areas that got touched. It could possibly try to RTN on you, so keep an eye on it.

    Rapid Tissue Necrosis

    Rapid death of the coral. The tissue sloths off of the skeleton. Takes under 24 hours normally.

    Stress is one of the know causes.

    If it happens, you will know.
