Hi all! :)
What would you do with colonies that have suffered from stn? Pull them out and frag the salvageable parts or will they grow back down the old skeleton? Old pic, cyano's not as bad.

I doubt they will regrow down, or atleast look decent. Usually from what I have seen with my SPS is once there is RTN / STN in the lower levels of the calcium structure it does not tend to grow back down.
Could be just my tank though.

That's what I thought I just wanted to double check before hacking it all apart... :(
THANKS!

HA! I have 4 lol
Problem was I was given the advice to leave it alone for fear of the spores colonizing somewhere else. It essentially took over the tank before I scrapped the stuff off with the mindset "well... it can't very well get worse!".
FYI it is actually much better now ;)
thats good! UV Filter ;) and pick them off manually is the route I would go. UV will take care of any spores that pass through it.
Try Blue Knucle Hermit (AZ) I bought a nice Scroll Coral Last week and It had a moderate patch or two of Bubble Algae....After dipping in the Coral RX I introduce the piece to the reef tank and next thing I saw was my 2 Blue Knucle hermit going for the Bubble Algae....next morning it was all gone !
