Do lobos ever recover

[no1bubba]

About 1 1/2" on my lobo is completely gone. Is there anything I can do to stop this loss? Bubba

amputate the dead area and about 1/2" past it.

I lost one a few weeks ago also. I never could get it to come back. I have another one that I moved to a different place (put it back under light) and it is looking ok.

Any other options?? I do not have the tools to amputate. No not any toe nail clippers. Cutical nippers, yes. I ugess it is better to try with whatever I have than to watch it die. Thanks, Bubba

this doesnt help you I know, but mine faded away as well. Everything else was fine. if this turns out successful post what you did.

I had problems with mine until I added a CA reactor. I think they are more sensitive to ca and Alk than other LPS.

Moved the Lobo up on a rock higher in the tank. Started feeding it Rod's and the little purple mouths appeared in 3 or 4 different places. Ate like a little pig.
Within two hours it started to look different. Later in the day it has started to puff up. Don't know that it is cured but I would not have known to move it or hand feed it without the help of you all. Thanks and I will keep you posted ..hope just good posts. Bubba

way to stick with it. I think I did the opposite, moved it lower in the tank. whats the flow like?

Flow is very low, helped the food to stick longer. Thanks, Bubba
