Die Off

When your corals experience the poor event of dying, it is important to take care of the dying parts before it spreads to throughout the whole tank and takes more coral with it.

To prevent this from happening, follow these steps:

  1. Start a siphon into a bucket and suck off all the die off from the corals
  2. Empty the bucket and then siphon some about 2.5 gallons of tank water back inside the bucket
  3. Add 25 drops of Lugol's Solution to the bucket
  4. Take out corals that had die off and place them in the bucket for 10 minutes tops
  5. During the ten minutes shake the corals around to get additional die off out of the bases
  6. After the ten minutes, add the coral back to the tank, no need to rinse
