    Corailline the PE on your milli's is something I envy!!

    I just received my Interceptor yesterday and may go through with a treatment this weekend,not sure it'll be full tank or isolated.

    A few posts ago I stated that I performed and extended revive dip for 15 minutes and a temp. swing. I still haven't spotted one on my highlighter acro!!-where the main infestation was. However my other mini-colony frag seems the worst for wear :(. The tips have been turning white over the last couple days and it's definitely lost some overall color. Must've been too much stress on it. I hope it comes back. All other parameters have been spot on in terms of before and after dip water quality. My mille has been fine.

    Nismo,

    When you dipped the frags did you see the bugs in the solution afterwards?
    Sometimes the tips on my acropora turn white with new growth. The coloration change may just be it acclimating to the light. I have had acropora go through coloration changes for weeks to a month while acclimating.
    Slowly I am sure it will come back, it seems to take along time for them to recover. The green millepora frag had very little tissue on it when I got it and no PE.

    :)

    I am going to take a tip from kc on her acro crab thread and try a tooth pic to scoot him off, hopefully I will not have to man handle him too much!

    Girl,your camera skills keep getting better and better,those shots are amazing!!I love the first large colony shot,but what is that last one that you call "seek and destroy polyps"?Whatever they are,they are simply beautiful!And best of luck with your acro crabs,i hope all goes well.

    Thank you RG,

    One day soon I may return the favor and drool over your corals.

    Hey grinder,

    The seek and destroy is my Pocillopora. He was a wee one about 4 months ago and now he wants to invade near by corals with those polyps.

    Thanks grinder. ;)

    Yes I did actually!! I made sure to "blow" them off with a small 6 inch baster I have and Like I said,they appeared to be dead in the solution-could've been the temp. drop though.

    I'll leave my seemingly dwindling Acro alone until it shows signs of actual die-off. This is a learning experience for me,as always ;).

    That Pocillopora is really cool and it was amazing you even got a shot like that !! Any plans on moving it or it's intended enemies?
