I see the color change but what does stn stand for?

I see the color change but what does stn stand for?

The colors are due to various lighting profile that the pictures were taken under.

STN: slow tissue necrosis
RTN: rapid tissue necrosis

have you had corals that appeared ok the night before and died overnight? that's RTN

I’ve had similar STN happened to one of the colonies. I quickly fragged it in to several peaces. Some died but most survived. Any plans for fragging it?

Sorry Hui! Hoping more than one survives as it turned into a beauty!

Sweet I hope it makes it. I am curious why this happens. One theory is the lack of flow in the middle of the colony. If something microscopically small - “bad” settles there may cause coral to lose its zoox algae.

I picked up an amazing colony of BC Glowstik from Victor ( @civics14 ) yesterday. It looks incredible and absolutely glows in the tank! Only problem is... I think it’s trying to self identify as a Milli.

Appreciate it... definitely a work in progress. Not sure why the filters make my rock look like it’s a cyano purple color, the new growth on it is actually green under white lights and charcoal under blues. I get the same effect from the black sand.

I picked it up a wild A. Sarmentosa and it grew really nicely in my tank about a year ago. . Its like a mint green with brown/purple polyps. It’s about 6” across now.

anyone else grow one of these?
