For absolute emergencies only
Water changes do not seem to be helping what so ever and all parameters are still testing good. whatever is killing corals in my tank has even the zoas and xenia looking sick and my smaller frags of monti caps that just so happened to be low laying and bleached out now as of this morning so as of right now I have 4 different species of coral death confirmed by this unknown killer still no sign of distress in the fish but I fear it is only a matter of time before I have a full on dead tank on ...
i was about to frag my blue acro today for a local reefer when i noticed some tissue damage, upon closer inspection i noticed that allot of my acros had the same problem, and that’s when my eye caught a tiny little orange bug, once my eye focused in it was easier to see the others so it turns out i have a bit of an issue i have been diping everything i get, but not with interceptor (i dont even know if its available in Canada) anyways i assume it came in in one of my recent frag purchases ...
Was doing research on my cyano problem and found some articles by Melev which of course led me here. I have been battling cyano for a few weeks now and I have been pretty frustrated.

well.... i just bought a giant Australian elegance coral last night and i was un-aware of there terrible survival rates in the captivity, Nothing is wrong with the coral as of now (knock on wood) so hopefully it will not get elegance flu and die on me (knock on wood). But with my luck it probably will, However i also purchased two Acans that are nothing short of beauty in its purest form. I hear they are much better in captivity.. hardy even! however there will be no more pre-researched purchases ...
