^ not anymore

only problem with dipping for 5 days with a colony of this size on a rock that big is everything in it dies...so, between myself and ZeroHour it made it's 5 day dip and upon the last day I dipped it for over 6 hours straight just to ensure nothing made it other than xmas zoas....and followed that with a freshwater dip. That was followed by a 4 hour fragging session. I made sure to only frag polyps without any of the rock...amazing how thick the zoa mat was...it was like pulling up old carpet.

I really wish I would have recorded the entire process. I fragged it all underwater to avoid toxins spraying everywhere. I had to change the water in the 3 gallon holding container about every half hour, the toxins were a dark purple color almost like blood and was so thick I could not see anything. I wore long rubber gloves and became a bit dizzy towards the end of the session from the concentration of toxins just in the air.

The rock and remaining polyps were discarded...probably 300+ polyps left on the rock but it had to go....the stench was horrendous.

It was like the ultimate fragging experience...lol

Still waiting on polyps to open in holding tank...so far: nada...lol

MAN I bet that was a task Rob. That was a huge zoa rock. I could have filed a timelapse video of the whole process on tripod. A 4 hr process condensed into about 2 or 3 minutes! Maybe next time. :)

Yeah, not sure I have ever seen a colony that large....it's a shame : ( I saw all your other pieces too....was so sad man. You have been growing those corals for years.

I think that as tough as this stuff was the dips may have been too much. As for the Acro loss that was totally on me and my hygrometer. Everything else thus far is doing well.
