Same exact procedure as the Tuesday and Wednesday. This time after I had them in the cup for about 15 minutes I added a teaspoon of Iodine to the water and used a small soft toothbrush to scrub the colonies lightly and remove the "pox" and any cyano that was kinda clinging to the dead parts of the rock surrounding. After the scrub I put them back and left them for the remaining time. When the timer went off I took them one at a time and swished them in my sump then placed them back in their places in the DT. There were no visible pox left on either colony. The polyps were tightly closed.
One hour later: polyps were starting to open on both colonies. Although they look roughed up a bit opening is a great sign!! I took a couple of pictures that sucked... I will get some better ones with the under water camera in the morning. So I can zoom in a get some good detailed shots. These were through the glass with my iPhone hard to photo once the actinic come one.
Fridays results.
