Just purchased a small Frog Spawn frag on Tuesday. The coral looked healthy when i purchased it. It has two heads on it about the size of a quarter. I followed the same procedure with this coral as i've done with everything else going in my tank. Let it float for 15 mins., then add a small amount of tank water to the bag every 15 minutes until i reach the one hour mark. The FS came out of a tank with VHO lighting and it was close to the top of the tank. My tank, the tank the coral went it, is a 54g corner with a 250 MHL 20K bulb. I started the FS off at the bottom of the tank directly under the light sitting it on the sand. The coral opened up a little bit and looked ok. Then next day, Wednesday, when the lights came on it didn't open up at all and hasn't since. All other corals in the tank are ok and look healthy. I'm wondering if it's just adjusting to the light. I've asked some friends at the LFS and they said that the FS should be at least Half way up the tank and should do fine. I just dont' want the FS to get to much light and bleach out. I lost a similar FS this way about a month ago. I placed it half way up the tank and it bleached out completely within 2 weeks. Not sure what to do. Should i leave it on the sand bed near the bottom of the tank? I just want to coral to look healthy and not get bleached out by my MHL. Anything i can do to to make the coral happy and come out fully? Thanks....
