To Trash or not to Trash

[ThatGuy]

So should I just pull these and trash them or should I just ride it out?
Green Slimer

Purple Stag

Digi of sorts

They have seen better days but why trash. They are alive with extension. Ride it out. No sense in tossing

 

[ThatGuy]

Well the first 2 are STN and the Digi has done that within the last week or so.

 

[jgraz]

Give them a dip. And see what happens

Josh what's going on with your tank did Jim test your water?

 

[jgraz]

I actually was gonna ask the same thing. Any idea why your getting the stn

 

[ThatGuy]

Everything is normal except my PO4 is at 1.26

That's high and would contribute to the browning and slow growth but not the STN and bleaching. Its only these 3 as well. The encrusting monti's are growing and the other SPS are browned out some what but nothing like these 3. I'm hoping that when the purple slimer RTN on me it wasn't bacterial or a fungal. But that was before I dipped and QT'd everything.

Only reason I would completely trash is if I saw AEFW marks or red bugs. Otherwise I would leave them be. I had a rouge milli come back from absolutely nothing and start growing over its old skeleton months later. Yes, it started out really small but it did come back from the dead

90% of the SPS got trashed. Tank crashed for some reason. Still don't know why.
