I was wondering if there is anything i can do for for a tree coral that seems to be drooping for a couple of days.It is the one on Salazar's 46 bowfront. The arm that is drooping seems to have small damage or wondering if something is picking at it. Does anybody know of some sort of dip i can try(lugo's iodide?)

If it is drooping then it probably needs more flow. How much flow is in your tank? How much damage is there? Does it look more like something is eating it or more like tissue necrosis. Got a pic? Are you dosing iodide in the tank? If so how much? Lugols is potent and it is easy to add too much. I would not dip it until you have a better idea of what is causing the damage.

I have been out of town to San Luis MEX (it is about 1 Hr from Sea of Cortez, I will try and go next time). The Kenyan Tree got a closer exam and it looked like something damaged it. I got half a branch out of this and used superglue to attach it. Hope it makes it.
