thanks for the info.
so do you turn off all of your pumps and use like a dropper or something to squirt phyto directly at it? i think it's probably hard to get a filter feeder to have adequate nutrition in a tank where there's not a fish getting fed daily and spreading food particles around everywhere.

i'll get some pics up because then you'll see what i'm talking about more, but i'm not sure if i can frag it off. poor coral, i'd love to see it survive, even if not in my tank. i know i don't have the proper means to care for it. there may be one section that i can get off. the rest is small and in the middle of the rock will probably end up dying and getting overrun by zoas. which i guess is not really that bad of a worst case senario. unless of course...will the dying sps damage the zoas? oo. yes, that's the worst case senario. and with my luck? oh dear....
WHO HAS EXPERIENCE WITH A MONTIPORA DYING DIRECTLY NEXT TO A ZOA COLONY?!?!

when my lights turn on tomorrow and everyone gets happy i'll snap a couple of pictures.
