[Recovering a Fungia]

Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences guys. I will move it downstairs so that I can spot feed it and nurse it. What should I be feeding it? Mysis Ok?

Thanks again

I'm no expert, but you'd imagine the flesh would grow over the skeleton if it was free of that alage. I would lightly use a toothbrush to clean it and then stable water paramaters/monitoring. I also use Revive dip when I'm done fragging/cleaning anything up, but can't tell you if that's helpful or not. 

Thanks for your response. I used a toothbrush before but still hasn’t grown much. What I’m wondering is if I have to cut the dead skeleton off or if I have to smooth it so it grows easier? Not sure if a fungia is able to grow it back.

Hi all

 

I am trying to nurse this Fungia (plate coral) back to health. It suffered some die off from being covered by lots of sand and algae after neglecting my tank for a while. Last Saturday’s presentation gave me a lot of hope and thus why I am asking for the best course of action here. I was thinking I should trim the dead skeleton but am not 100% sure.

 

Is Nikki (Reefdup) in the house?
