Got a Rainbow BTA (green mouth then its tentacles go from green to yellow to pink) from a friend for my bday! Wish me luck on getting these 2 knuckleheads to host it! Any tips would be great!
Does this look like it is dying? It is fluorescent in about half of it, but it used to be full circle. It is also very white and I can see some of the skeleton. It is obviously on the sand bed, so not getting strong light and is not getting heavy flow. All my parameters are good. Any ideas?
I have recently set up a new tank and moved all my coral and fish over everything is doing good and parameters are pretty stable but this green hammer coral has shrunk back a lot. Any suggestions would be great on how to save it!
Added 3 hammer corals 3 days ago that were shipped, 2 of them adapted well, the larger 2 head doesn’t seem to like something. Possible that they are sensitive to the higher nitrates? 8 ALK, 390 Calcium, 1350 MAG, 25 NO3, .10 PO4
Question:
What are some of the problems that you face when introducing new coral frags to your system(s)?
Just trying to learn from other’s experiences.

Just got the first coral for my tank it’s a hammer coral (it just got in the tank about 2 hours ago so it’s still pretty retracted)
Is this too much flow for it?
Thank really coming along! Great extension on most everything.
Only thing I don't get is my chalice is dying- not photos as l moved it to the side for less light and flow. Any ideas? All my Ips is doing great
New corals acclimating in the tank! These are the first 3 corals after all my others died during a house move.

Not a sales post. TIA just made a new Coral Care Card for the shop.
These are the exact tank parameters we run in-store, the same ones we’ve kept steady since 2008.
Sharing here in case it gives you a few helpful reefing nuggets.
Also, with ReefBay Marketplace launching, here are a few acclimation tips if you’re buying corals online from any seller.
