salty_kat Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I've had this octospawn for about two weeks now and it's been receding continuously since I brought it home. I've done a Lugol's iodine dip at the advice from River City but it hasn't slowed down. Anyone have experience with saving a wall type like this? I LOVE it and want it to survive. Thanks.

cliff Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 What are your water parameters. Almost every problem begins with bad water... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Iodine is for antiseptic and parasites. Its probably water quality. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KimP Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm curious about this too. Until recently I never had any luck with these types of corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Is there any sign of brown jelly on it? That's how I've lost mine in the past, it moves incredibly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty_kat Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 My water is fine. I tested everything that day and did a 40 gal water change since. Everything is within acceptable ranges.

FarmerTy Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi salty kat! Can you list your parameters from your last testing session? Also the brands of test kits? Hopefully we can help you figure out what's going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FluxCapacitor Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 What ever happened with the octospawn? Did it recover? Did you find out your water parameters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
