    The coral is looking better. All the parts that were brown are now a light green dosen't realy show up in a pic yet though. The white part is still very white no change at all good polyp extention overall. I am very suspitious of red bugs. So I'm going to treat the tank with intercepter. It's better safe than sorry and from what I have read the only risk is loss of pods, shrimp, and crabs. So I will pull out all the crabs and shrimp first and I can reseed the pods with cheato from my display. I will treat the tank 3 times in one week intervals.

    Hey, i hope u got my lenghty email. Sorry for that. If it were me i would do what i stated in the email. BOTH tanks, its not worht the work to treat one if u have put frag from the infested tank into the Display tank. The display will have them to no matter what. Or thats how i would treat it. RBs are no big deal, your corals after teh treatment will look awesome and have crazy polyp extension. Its like cleaning a cut and putting neosaporine on it. It always makes things better. Hope i have help a little with all the input i have given. TTY at the end of July in person.

    Thanks jeremy you have been a great help! The first treatment is over and I must say the colony ( as well as all other corals in the tank ) looks very happy now. And there is no doubt it had RB as I clearly say the dead ones fall away from the colony when I blew on it with a turkey baister about 3 hours after adding the intercepter.

    Was looking over the colony today and darn it TN from the center had started. So I fraged off 3 large peaces that were uneffected. I hope what is left makes it. If not I guess I tryed.

    What's left is doing good so far. I guess I kind of broke one of the most important rules in this hobby on this one ( never buy a unhelthy specimen ) but i guess you could also say nothing ventured nothing gained.
