    It is the only coral on that rock. Do I just use a razor blade?

    Either a razor or sharp knife should do the trick. Just make sure you get all of it.

    You're quite welcome. :)

    I'd also recommend running a heavy amount of carbon until your ammonia and nitrites get back to zero. That will help mop up the mess.

    Good luck. :)

    I was able to scrape most of the Xenia off the rock last night. It was harder then I thought it would be lol. All the corals look a lot better today. Tomorrow I should have new light and UV Sterilizer. I'm reeally hoping that the UV Sterilizer will help things out as well.

    Well I got the new light and the UV sterilizer is hooked up (looks ugly, but I made due with the supplies I had). I will try to get some pics here in a little while. I can tell a big differences with the new light. So much brighter, and I'm excited to see the moon lights lol.

    This may have been pre-mature, but I put the damsel back into the tank tonight from the HT. The reason being, I didn't have the means to properly set up the HT and I needed the PH (I was using it to provide flow) to use has a pump for the UV sterilizer. He was looking a lot better, and my levels are testing alright in the DT. All my corals also seem a lot happier now as well.

    Wow, my damsel is doing awesome tonight. He is back to normal and swimming all over the place. He could just looking for his buddy, but who knows lol. It could also be that I rearranged the aqua scape so I can use both of the new circulation pumps I have or maybe the new light, who knows. All I do know is that I'm ecstatic that I was able to save him. ;D
