Noobalicious November 20, 2009 Share November 20, 2009 Had my first turbo snail incident last night. I hadn't figured out a spot for my new frag of green slimer yet, and one of the turbos knocked it loose and into a head of frog spawn. For the most part the frag is ok, but there are a few "bleached" spots. Is this something that the slimer could repair, or will there be permanent white areas? Thanks for your input.

reefhunter November 20, 2009 Share November 20, 2009 it will repair itself over time. I have done this more times than I will admit. Mount it securely in a spot it will like. Green slimer is hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Garrison November 20, 2009 Share November 20, 2009 It will be fine in time, I had a similar problem, placed some frogspawn a bit too close to an orange digi. The frogspawn stung the heck out of the tips and turned them white, but now they are well on their way to recovering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan November 20, 2009 Share November 20, 2009 (edited) Keep it in flow, not to high, and watch it. It will either start to heal or it will develop RTN. Healing will take a while. You should start to see some growth in about 5-7 days. RTN will start to spread sooner if it goes in that direction. I have a pocillopora that has fallen into anemones, frogspawn and plate coral on 3 different occasions. Each time there is a large section that has turned pure white. Each time that I've found it in another coral I take it out and hold it over a powerhead to get all the slime off of it. Then place it in an area of moderate to high flow until I see growth. It has recovered every time. Yes, those son of a gun snails keep knocking it over. put it in high Had my first turbo snail incident last night.

lanman November 21, 2009 Share November 21, 2009 Might live, might die - corals are tricky things. I've had the slightest sting RTN a large colony, and I've had severe sting damage heal right up. Good luck! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
