    Maybe you remember, I had a prob a few weeks ago which caused my SPS to succumb to RTN. I have managed to save my orange monti cap and maybe my acro? The pieces of the acro colony that I fragged off have all died. What I find odd is that the surviving bits are still on what's left of the original colony (what I expected to definitely die). I have 1 branch that's got about 3/4" alive and 4 or 5 branches that have about or less than 1/2". My question is... Since the RTN has stopped, should I go ahead and break the living off and chunk the rest? OR!! What I'd like to see... is the living going to start to spread back over what died? Only reason I've kept the colony intact to date is b/c there's an "acro" crab living in it still and I don't have another place for him to go.

    If the RTN has stopped just leave it alone. All the stress from handling it and fragging it could make things worse. Just leave it be, and keep an eye on it. It very well could make a great comeback. :)
