I'm in St. Louis where we just went through a bout of storms and power problems. We were without power for 4 days but I had an inverter powering the recirc pump, skimmer and PC lights intermitently for 2 days and it just sat for the last 2 days. When the power came back the tank was down to 70.1 degrees.
I thought everything (except a brittle star) made it but my pipe organ coral is just about dead. The heads turned to brown jelly which I blew off. Most of it is now skeleton but there are a few polyps evident though they aren't extending.
My question is should I break it off down to the area of good polyps or will it eventually recolonize the "dead" parts.
