How do I enhance tissue regrowth on diseased coral?
I have a meat coral that succumbed to Brown Jelly. Last night it set in a Chloramphenicol bath. Now I am monitoring for recurrence in a quarantine tank. How can I encourage this piece to regrow it's damaged tissue. Vitamin C(what dosage)? Anything else?
Hopefully i can save this coral. Thank you, Jenn.

I just posted this to another thread. It was an experiment that worked for me. Use at your own risk. The idea is that this should nuke bacteria, parasites etc. Good luck.

My LFS swears by dosing Strontium in low doses (1/3 rd the recommended dose was what they told me). I was so reluctant to do this, since I can't test for it/didn't have a kit. But it was apparent I needed something as my prized torch coral was going down hill. You can search the boards for the post I have on "Torch Coral Tissue Recession"
Anyway, I started dosing and in about 3-4 weeks it showed promise. Now it's extending so much, I may have to move it and also - splitting Caution, but it worked for me. |
