Did it survive?

Hey guys... another fall out question from my all to well known heat bloom.

I thought I lost all my sps, but I left their skeletons in there just incase, and because I wasn't entire sure, especially since they didn't have algae or anything coating them...

My hydranaphora, which was a very pale green just started showing intense green veins down the medians of each finger, does this mean the flesh of the coral is regenerating?

Could the green color be algae or is it more like the color of the hydnophora?
Hydnophora are pretty tough corals.

If a coral is like 75% white (bleached-looking) and you can see more each day, is there any hope left?

Outer layer of tissue is peeling off, similar to when we get sunburnt. The Moorish Idol can't seem to stay away from it either which makes me 99% sure its a goner. I am refering to the cats paw I recently got.

Thanks Josh. I was going to let you or Alex have it to see if anything could be saved, but just can't get to SA in time. :(

I had a M cap I had under my center brace on my 90. I rearranged my tank and bleached it totally white under the brighter light (550 w VHO). I left it there because it was about 6" across grown from a tiny frag and i figured I could grow other stuff on it. A month later it began to color back up and started growing again but up instead of outward this time. I'd leave yours be for a while and see if part or all of it comes back.

I will do that, thanks Erik.

hey guys, They green on the hydronaphora is acid green 'put me under a black light please' type green... it's definately the hydro.

OK, cool. Glad to hear it.
