Dying Dipsastraea Coral Rehabilitation

Dying Dipsastraea Coral Rehabilitated

This Dipsastraea coral (previously classified as a Favia sp.) was not my first rescue coral, but it is by far one of my favorites.  I picked it up in ~2008 from a local fish store’s discount $5 bin.  I had no idea how to save it at the time, so it was mostly luck.  I kept it in low light and medium flow.  I also fed my homemade frozen food at least weekly.  The colors really pop under very low light, actinic conditions. 

The coral has moved with us to four different states over 14 years, so I have fragged it many times (so it is much smaller than it would have been otherwise).
