what is the best "first acro"?

First thing is cutting the whole thing off it's base. Dip it in a good coral dip not flatworm stop. Keep the parameters perfectly stable and have a great light.

Can you explain why cutting off its base? becuase I got somthing similar to that.

Thanks

Because maricultured are known to have pests. This will better your chance of not introducing something nasty like AEFW, mantis, crabs etc etc

Thanks, I've already dipped with coral rx the day I got it. So far it didn't lose anycolor yet and ok PE. Should I still remove the base or is too late.

Well it looks like the colony is gone. It started to RTN yesterday and I had to chop it up. I only have a couple of nubs left and I don't even know if they will make it. I wish lessons learned on a reef tank weren't so expensive.
