Hi,
So I bought a nice Crocea at the CFM, get it home, and it died the next day. :Cry:
My water chemistry is pretty good, and as far as I know I don't have any pests.
The one comment that I have is that I rushed the acclimitization a bit because I had a dinner to go to. I think it acclimitized about 45 minutes before I put it in, but it seemed ok until the next morning.
My hermits were all over it right away cleaning off the shell but they were leaving the flesh alone, but as I said it is dead now.
Any thoughts?
One last comment, I did dip the coral I got at CFM. I noticed an aptasia on one piece though.... debating taking the frag out and scrubbing it off before putting it back. I think I can do so without damaging the zoas on the frag piece.
