I got a colony for free from a fellow reefer today. It was brown and whiting/bleaching from the base up (is that rtn or stn ?)
So i got it home, acclimated it chopped it up and threw all the bleached parts out. Glued all the healthy looking pieces together on a frag disc. It looks nice
But damn did it stink. Really stink. I hadnt noticed before but i picked up one of my healthy colonies and it did stink too.
Now i read that if it stinks, seems as its still alive and might make it...? Seems consisten with my other colony.
Any input appreciated.
PS. it came with a little acro crab as a hitchhiker too, which was nice.
