lightningstrike Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 as i type, it is with a heavy heart. juz a couple of hours ago, ard 2130hrs, i spotted a purple ric splitted from it's mother colony. tried to catch a hold of it. but the current in my tank was nevertheless too strong, it blew the purple ric frag all the way to the rear of the tank behind all the rockwork. thus, i attempted to rescue the ric frag with my pair of thongs. alas, my clumsy hands got the better of me and disturbed the rockwork on the right of my tank. causing all the LRs to collapse!!! so begins my underlying task of rescaping and rescuing my existing corals. hv juz finish rescaping, too bad........ there were some casualties. 1) pink birdnest....... STN (still in the main tank, hoping for a recovery soon) 2) purple acro........ RTN (spotted 1 branch RTN, immediately snipped the RTN branch off with a pair of sharp pliers. 3) never manage to find the purple ric frag.
