Importance of QT

[The Rugger]

I see them when I zoom in. Thanks for taking the time to point that out. So is that piece done for or is it posible to bring it back in QT?

No prob... they are nasty little buggers, that's for sure!

Generally speaking that piece isn't done for. You could blow them off with a turkey baster, thoroughly inspect for eggs (scape off if you find any), then dip, then place into QT. I believe what John was saying is that he had other coral in his current QT, that were likely pest free, so he didn't want to add this to it (nor would I).

If I did the above things and had a fallow QT available, I'd let it remain there for a month, and dip it once a week, thoroughly inspecting for other eggs or FWs every time.

Sorry to see this John, that stinks man.

Sorry to see your loss. On the bright side, this can only help SPS newbs going forward.

It could have been treated and been fine, but i didn;t want to take the time or chances so i tossed it.
