Wow Bar These are the first reef pictures I have seen that captured such strong emotion. Not good emotion--you have my sympathy. My yellow tang almost met a similar end. My GFI flipped off during the night. When I got up in the morning my Cynarina had the tang in its death grip. However, he was still moving. I quickly grabbed a stick, freed him, and got the power back on. Within an hour he was swimming normally. Later in the day he had black marks, I think necrotic tissue due to stings from the coral’s nematocysts, but possibly from hypoxia. He eventually made a full recovery.
