    yeah tracy, I would just keep your paramters up and give it a good feeding daily and it should sprout back up!!!! I have had them worse than that and I fed every other day and kept the water pristine and they popped right back to life

    Default Candy Cane Coral!

    I have a real good feeling that those are going to make it Tracy. Their mouths are in good shape. Remember the good 'ol days of covering up your sun coral to feed them. You could do the same with a wee bit of cyclopeeze. Have the cup over the candy canes already, and take a tiny hard frozen chip of cyclopeeze, and while working quickly, hold the piece between your fingers so the tank water doesn't get at it to easiily, and slip it quickly under the cup. Let it feed for an hour or more. Take the cup off and let the rest of the cyclopeeze go to the rest of the tank for a treat! Those little honey's will pop right back around! Good Luck! ....Angel

    Thank you for your vote of confidence... I sure hope I can nurse these babies back to health! I just knew that no one would buy them, and I hated to think that they'd just sit there and waste away. That's why I told the owner to just give me the frag. I'll post updates on the progress...

    Tracy,

    Your not a sap. You were honestly trying to give these things a chance. I can think of no one better to take care of me when I'm struggling At least you were able to convince the store to give them to you. Stores here would have charged double saying they were really "special" (yeah right). Good luck with them.

    When you make a mistake look for the lesson to be learned and try not to repeat it.

    LOL! I could see that happening... especially considering this store doesn't know me very well. I think I took the guy by surprise the way I blurted out my declaration that it was almost dead and no one would buy it. Maybe he wanted to shut me up quick since there were several other customers nearby.
