I wanna ask whats the best positioning for my soon to be placed corals and some macroalgae
Tank setup:
*10G
*1 warty frog fish
*canister filter (mechanical, chemical, carbon)
*Water flow is variable so i can just change the current
*RO water already
I was planning to add:
*pulsing xenia/kenya tree will be placed behind rock to not over populate
*red/purple/ or any dark colored zoan
*and some macroalgae not sure what other type to add since i am still looking for red,pink,purple or dark colored type to match the rock and theme
Don't mind the middle rock in front i just did not take it out since my warty likes that rock and mostly stays on that rock that was from his old rock formation before deciding to add corals and adding bigger rocks

I just got a pulsing Xenia as one of my first corals. I’m unsure if my flow is correct. Is it too high?
Do any of you guys have any experience with the importance of checking iodine levels? I feel all my levels are good but some corals seem to not be growing, if anything shrinking slowly overtime. Example, clove star polyps, zoas, pulsing Xenia.
My current plan is
attempt to save my current corals
get new gear for the tank (wave maker etc etc)
get more clean up crew
then during march, for my birthday i hopefully plan to buy a yasha goby and tiger pistol shrimp and two Ocellaris clownfish
as well as maybe buying a replacement pulsing xenia as the one i bought impulsively has already died unfortunately
Woke up at 4:30am. Getting ready for work. I glanced at my hospital tank. Finally witnessed my Xenia pulsating. It has a little GHA around it. But it's moving. Still trying to make a comeback. Keep moving little guy.
Very disappointed this week. But I'm trying to bounce back. These are photos of my purple tip hammer and my Xenia coral. I decided last week to do a water change in my display tank and my quarantine tank. The dumb thing that happened on my part. I noticed that I haven't calibrated my refractometer in over a year. So I calibrated the refractometer and found out that it was way off. I did the water change and everything got shocked. The fish are doing good but all my corals are either closed and lost some zoanthids. I took the hammer out of the display tank and put it back in the quarantine tank..😕☹️ don't know if I can get it back.
Ok question so I have green star polyps pulsing Xenia, alien eye chalice, red flower pot coral and like 20-30 green eyed dragon zoas and a another small colony of zoas so I now know that every invert in the tank has tried to eat them and I only have 2 saltwater tanks the GSP likes no flow and everything else likes flow also I can’t get my zoas to open any tips?
anyone know why my xenia r melting? every other coral is fine. Should I remove ?
Pulsing Xenia is no longer pulsing. Any advice here ? Thank you.
