Hi Paul,

Sounds like a good research project for you. Check it out and report back. ]]> Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:26:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528935&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528935 <![CDATA[trachyphyllia dying? : Was wondering if there is any...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528934&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528934 Author: builderofdreams

Was wondering if there is any scientific testing that has been done on corals that has lost their testicles. ]]> Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:20:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528934&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528934 <![CDATA[trachyphyllia dying? : Got to love automatic spell checkers....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528932&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528932 Author: bfessler

Got to love automatic spell checkers. Well at least I'll give everyone a laugh over that one.

LOL...I wasn't talking about loosing vs losing.

I was talking about what you typed instead of tentacles. I hope the coral wasn't losing it's testicles!! ]]> Tue, 02 Jul 2013 08:30:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528931&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528931 <![CDATA[trachyphyllia dying? : ReefdUp wrote:Hi Burt...I hope...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528930&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528930 Author: bfessler

I treat nearly all my sick LPS with that three-step dip process. It seems to knock out everything on a sick coral. I don't recommend it for a healthy coral though. Most infections are knocked out with CoralRx and good water parameters...unless it's Vibrio (causes widespread bleaching in a coral usually.)

Bayer is great for real pests/parasites. However, it's nasty stuff, so I wouldn't touch it...and keep it away from kids. Here's all the info you'll need on it.

Hydrogen peroxide dips are one that I rarely recommend to anyone but someone really experienced. It's tricky to tell when to pull the coral out... But, if you get experienced with it, it kills off all the bryopsis, bubble algae, etc.


Sorry for the typo, yes I did mean losing.

I'm pretty familiar with using Hydrogen Peroxide to kill off nuisance algae. I usually try to remove the corals from the tank and spot treat then replace but have on occasion done a dip. Thanks for the info on Bayre.]]> Tue, 02 Jul 2013 07:33:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528930&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528930 <![CDATA[trachyphyllia dying? : Yes, the Bayer works very well....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528903&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528903 Author: Fatman

Yes, the Bayer works very well.  And it can also be used for lawn grubs.]]> Mon, 01 Jul 2013 23:01:59 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528903&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528903 <![CDATA[trachyphyllia dying? : Hi Burt...I hope you mean that...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64939&PID=528896&title=trachyphyllia-dying#528896 Author: ReefdUp

Sorry to hear the Trach didn't make it.

Nikki,

Would this type of treatment be useful in treating other LPS. While I have never had a Trach I have had a nice size wall hammer with flesh that started receding on one end and seemed to work it's way down into the skeleton eventually loosing all of its tentacles and dying. I was new to the hobby and didn't know how to treat it and cutting a wall hammer seemed risky to me. I'm pretty sure the cause was an overly aggressive maroon clownfish damaged the tissue on the edge of the skeleton and an infection set in. Could a similar treatment be used in such a situation to stop the spread of infection and save the coral? Also Bayer makes a few different insecticides, is there a particular product you use for the dip?

Thanks for the brief description of the treatment. I'll have to file this one and the other links for future reference.
