As some of you may know I am not really fond of keeping SPS. When I bought my tank it included a pink/orange montipora.
The unit was OK for a couple of weeks, till I noticed a weird tube-like structure on the main plate of the coral. This tube had some tentacles. I investigated and thought I had a vermetid snail. I decide to RO dip the coral to get rid of the pest. This did not work, but stressed the coral to bleaching.
I got rid of the "snail" with a Calcium Hyroxide injection, but the coral really looked sick.
I have been trying to nurse it back and have noticed some colour coming back.
Please give me your opinion on what should be done to the montipora in the pic below
