Rick Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Entire frag, melted which was apparently due to zoa pox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannedmulder Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Don't know what happened but I only have 2 left. Started with 3 now only 2. I guess you could say it melted. The other 2 only open about half way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpunk Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I voted for lost a few even though I haven't. Mine just look like death and I am hoping they come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 1 polyp fell off on the way home, the rock the remaining 4 were on broke off the first night taking another 2 somewhere into the depths of my tank.... I did find one 3 says later crammed under another frag and glued it back on the best I could. Looks like I'm down 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 3 left, one melted away, one not opening. looks like zoapox on the unopend one. dsoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have all 5 still - and all are open now. The only issue I have had is that two of the polyps detached from the other three and fell down below, but they are all good. I have been out of town for a week so will try and post a picture today sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCityAquarium Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm curious how these were fragged? were they scrapes off the rock with a razor or chipped off the rock leaving the foot intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have lost all 5. Two the first day, two more two days later and then the final one gave up Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 All 5 of mine are looking good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenzoa Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I had 5 polyps to start, one fell off when the piece of ruble fell (totally my fault) two open one partially open. one not open at all. I do not appear to have pox or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 They were fragged a couple ways, some by dremmel some by cutters. No scrapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 yep, while fragging the pieces in most cases were spread out enough that we didn't even touch the zoas, just the rock they were on. a few had pieces glued together to make the five though.

Chief Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I have two polyps that are opening now. The frag is still very new to me, so we will see. No pics yet as my dsl modem/router is on the fritz. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannedmulder Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well now all of mine are gone! Just melted away!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm curious how these were fragged? were they scrapes off the rock with a razor or chipped off the rock leaving the foot intact? Most were still attached to the rock, and we just cut through the rock with tin-snips, or angle cutter pliers. Almost all of them were cut down to the 5 polyps. None of the frags were scrapped off the rock that they were attached to. dsoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancecobb1 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Mine were good for a few days looked nice! Just melted away like cannedmulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I've still got 2 viable polyps. The others have melted. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanz Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah, mines looked perfect for the few days that I had it. Then it quickly turned sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Mine looked great to start as well. I think I had one polyp that didn't come out right away but otherwise it looked good. A few days latter though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
