Oh...Wicked bummer Dale. Sorry to hear the news. I wish I had something to hook you up with, but as I'm sure you read, by Caps got nailed by monti eating nudis. I just threw out my larger orange cap the other day, and my green/purple last week. So now I have just one tiny green/purple cap frag, and one orange cap frag.

Hey Dale,

Just checking in to see how everything went yesterday....

Hope everything else in the tank is stable.

Tammie

[Scuba_Dave]

That's a bummer.I don't really have SPS, - mostly softies - but if you want a toadstool or capnella I have some

Clam man,

I really like to try and learn from such tank crashes so that other folks (including me) don't repeat the problem in the future. Can you elaborate upon what happened? You scraped some Zoathids off a rock and the next day all the Montipora's in the tank were dead? Was there some other event that might have occurred? Spawning of something? Was a lot of the tissue of the Zoanthids damaged when you were removing them?

 

[NateHanson]

Also, because there are reports of a couple tanks in the club having monti-eating nudis, I'd also ask if your montis were showing any signs of ill-health before they suddenly died?

 

[Clam Man]

greg my mistake was not setting up a "sick tank" with carbon after removing the zoathids and some brown polyps and yes the tissue was damaged but almost all of it was scraped off this was a lesson for me any time you remove these kind of corals never put the live rock back in the main display.
nate no monti eating nudis
thank you dave
