House fire-saving corals

[Marcellina]

I live in North Merrick on Long Island. We just had a house fire on Tuesday afternoon. The whole house is a total loss due to fire and smoke damage.

I had a 29 g bio cube that has been with no electricity since then and the water is a little smokey but my rock anemones (5 or more) are still bright and colorful on the live rock they are just smaller that usual. I also have a light green Duncan that Is still bright it’s just not on display mode.

If there is anyone that could take them in for me while we get situated I would be so grateful. I would hate for them to melt away and die. They have been through allot in the 10+ years I’ve had them.

please reach out to me if you are able to help out.


UPDATE: the corals are still there and look well but not very happy

i can’t drive upstate to deliver them. I’m sorry. I’m homeless living out of a hotel with nothing, no belongings at the moment, with 2 teenagers. I need to get things sorted out with our housing situation and life. If you are locale or willing to drive to Long Island ti rescue then please contact me. Leave a dm with your phone #. Thank you!

Really sorry to hear this. If no one else chimes in, who lives closer, you can ship or drive them to me upstate.

Wishing you the best.

Have you tried a local store? Especially if you know them, usually they will hold a bunch of corals for you in a separate tank, especially considering the circumstances

I’ve already reached out to a few and they don’t want to take them in they told me I should check local groups like this one
