So My tank has been taken down since Ike with all the LR in a tupperware container getting daily topoffs and every other week water changes. The water was BLACK and reaked after the storm due to having ALOT of zoas in the tank that died and sent out there "pissed off chemicals" We are about to move houses so the tank hasnt been re setup yet.

I have been putting the light over the tupperware just because I still have 3 or 4 different macros growin in there. Well I turned all the pumps off last night to look around and found a few survivers!!!

I found 2 TINY little baby green start polyps. They are growin on the purple dried up mat that used to be a huge chunk of the stuff.

I also found a single neon green zoa about .5 mm across, had to second, third and 5th look to make sure I was really seeing it.

I have to say...that is the FIRST time I have ever teared up from being so happy. Im going to keep checkin every few days. When my huge frogspawn died, it basically disentigrated into what look liked 500 little seeds. I got the thought in the back of my mind that maybe thats its last hope for survival of the "future generations" of frogspawns. So Im crossin my fingers that maybe a few more corals will pop up. Only about 1/4 of the LR is getting good light tho so the ones on the bottom will either grow REALLY slow or not at all but either way its cool that some survived.
