    Well it's been a long time coming and a long time me trying to nurse it back. I think the last straw was the dragon goby deciding to continualy bury it by it sifting sand directly over it day after day and me clearing it off day after day...

    Don't think it was ever quite right in the nano and the guy I got it from is notorious for ditching sick corals on customers, maybe why he's not in business anymore

    but my goby kept sifting sand over it and burying it, I'd quite literally go home to it barely sticking out of the sand so that just made my job even harder with it, now I know not to have any bottom dwelling corals with him in the tank, I did replace it with a nice big clove polyp colony though

    Do you have alive, and dead photos ? For educational purposes of course. Sorry for your loss. I have two and would be sick if I lost one. :(

    can search through my old posts with pics on my 24g nano and see pics of it from the time i got it till about 2 weeks before it died, when it was gone i was literally coming off the rock, both mouths turned out floating in the water disattached from the rock
