John, very good chance it was the iodine dips. Softy's can react to minute amounts introduced to the tank. Standard doses are around 1 drop per 25 gal of water, strong stuff. GregH

A Bad Boat Day! 6 AM Manasquan, Est 28ft fiber glass Fishing Boat.

After readind the tread on the -'Anal dwelling gonad eating parasite hitchhiker fish" my mind is open!

Situation replied to, john, take deep breaths! Recommended actions- Turkey blaster, hit them good then see if they open. Iodine dip, 8 drops in a bowl, wait 5 min, swoosh the frag around, dip in clean water, examine the dip water for parasites. Furan-2 Treatments, my experience. Highly...

That's a different story, cloud that's not good has to be dead tissue, they melt, water change, wet skim heavy, carbon. Good Luck

I have that too on my index finger from scraping off zoas from a rock, gloves from now on! The toadstools do seem harmless in the tank, I have put so many fresh frags in a small tank with no ill affects. The short cycle I think is a good possibility! After moving the rock and exposing the...

Doubtful, I have fraged large ones and put the frags right back in the tank, no effect, I think that toxin theory is over rated. Step back and look at the basics. New lights or fresh bulbs? New water source? Different salt mix? Check salinity! Possible small cycle caused by the move? CHECK...

I had something similar, it killed the frag.

All that a curing dose is establish a biomass of Bacteria that feed on mainly ammonia. The life on the rock, seaweeds, sponges, alga's, rarely survive the transport with the rock being out of water and its natural environment. The die off creates ammonia that the bacteria feed on and multiply...

That means its happy. Do you feed yours? just did a count, have 25 of the fuzz balls.

When stressed they will close up and eather look waxy or white. It should shed its skin and open backup, could be days or even a week or better. Put it in a area of med current and not too intense light. You can blow it off with a Turkey blaster to help remove any old skin or detris. If it was...

Sold the Big boat and the smaller Boat had a little fire, uuugg, may be a bit. is it time yet to start a fishing thread in open water? GregH

Welcome Back!

The process of curing will kill most of the "life" on the rocks due to the ammonia spike. Higher temps may decrease the curing time. The only main concern is if you go beyond the point that you begin to kill off the bacteria that you are culturing.

When I recently upgraded to T-5 from PCs with a softy's dominated tank, EVERYTHING freaked out, very unhappy, closed up and stayed that way. I have also seen where specimens from my PC tank were transferred to T-5 and metal halides and just melted. Recommendations- Check your water parameters so...
