    I posted a few days ago about how I got some free corals and decided to frag them up.

    I only cut 2 frags from the mother colony and they are dead looking and closed up.

    Normally within a few hours they are health and open. How long before I pronounce them dead and start over.

    They are Kenya Tree... the Xenia frags are doing just fine.

    KT pics will follow. Look limp and lost color. I touched them to feel if they were disolving but they were firm. There is still hope. I moved them from medium flow high light to, low flow medium light. Hopefully less movement and light burn they will be ok.

    Not to worried if they die because I have more in the tank at whole sale levels but its the principal.
