This round of QT went a little better. 3 of the 4 fish who entered made it out. I lost only a cleaner wrasse which can be difficult to QT. It was eating very well which was a bummer. I think along with copper I'll be running furan2/metroplex from now on. I think I've been losing fish to bacterial issues during copper treatment. This round I also ran general cure x2 during the copper treatment. That brought my treatment length down to 14 days, which isn't so bad.

I also scored a nice smooth skin deep water acropora. Not sure on the type but this thing is nice during the day. I like the growth structure and polyps are out full force. Its hard to capture but its got some nice yellow coralites and looks like a teal base color.

Second acropora looked yellow with blueish tips. Once I got it home and saw all the polyps swaying I realize its probably a shortcake type acropora. Although its growth structure looks a little different to me, it has those long string like polyps that short cakes seem to have.
