ORA German Blue Digitata (Please host)

[GoneReefing]

Here is my issue. I have a small colony of this for quite some time. Started off with a 1" frag that I got from ReefCube. Now its over 5" tall, multibranching and was looking great.

For the past week or so I have no polyp extension, not even during the dusk/dawn. Other sps/lps are looking great, nice polyps extension during the dusk/dawn cycle and nightime.

I think my issue is with my coral beauty.

What I am looking for is someone to maybe host this coral in their tank,to see if the polyps ever come back out. If they do I can only conclude its my water quality or the coral beauty.

I haven't seen her nipping on this, but I really don't think it can be my water as everything else has been doing great, nice encrustation, polyp extension, etc.

If someone is interested in doing this, let me know. If the polyps extend out and it looks all fuzzy again in your tank, I will get rid of my coral beauty and take the colony back once she is gone, but I will cut you a nice frag from it for your trouble.

Shoot me your address and phone number if you don't mind and I will give you a call this weekend. This is really bumming me out b/c this one was one of my first and it looked so blue.

I hope yours makes it. I just got a frag of this and love the color. I would host it for you but Im sure you found someone already in san antonio.

Digitata is one thing i have never had any luck with in my tank :(

[Big_Pun]

cool thats y i have never taken a chance with those fish, i wanted one for a while

[ReefCube]

first thing i would do in the case it was doing great and now not so great. I would first dip the coral. three little fishes has a product called revive you can also use tropic marin coral cure. Then see how that works for you. I would also test my water parameters as well

We are opposite its one of the sps that flourish in my tank.

I really hope it rebounds for you.

[GoneReefing]

Well I pulled out the coral beauty and will be looking to get the product that reefcube is mentioning. In the mean time I did check my params and all seem in check. I'll keep ya posted.

If everything else is growing in your tank , and there's little tissue loss on the monti, then it should recover with no problem. May not even need to dip the coral. Best of luck!

Briguy, that digita you gave me over the summer is growing well. Soon it will be large enough to frag if you want to try again.
