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
Hi Reefers, I need some guidance here, this torch is closed up and has been for the last 4 to 5 days vs all the others, I’m attaching my parameters and just got back a ICP test, I don’t see anything major from a Parameter standpoint, I’m running Hydro Edge 32 and haven’t changed any settings.
Does anyone know why one of my zoas closed up last night and still hasn’t reopened? I tested all my levels a couple of hours after noticing, and everything is right where it’s been since I started keeping corals
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.

I am concerned about my toad stool it has been 14 days since it last opened and I am concerned that a spike in PH has killed it.
Thoughts?
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.
