Hello,
Sorry to bother you with this....
And hello to all (I am a brand new member).
I bought yesterday a red open brain coral (my first ever).
I was looking ok in the shop, even if the aquarium was only in actinic light.
I brought it home, acclimated as usual, and place it on the sand bed. I have the. curious feeling that it is dead, even if it is pink and if I do not see the skeleton anywhere. I prod it (delicately) today and the feeling is that of stone. i know it is dumb, but perhaps it is ok. I just do not know.
I made another mistake yesterday at the same shop, and bought a branching hammer, and when i put it in aquarium, I saw that the skeleton was exposed in a lot of parts.
Any advice would be happily received.
I have a 100 gallons, bubble magus protein skimmer, vortech power head regulated on lagoon mode, a phosphate reactor. Lights are led.
inhabitants:
2 babies diamond gobies,
1 Lo Vulpinus
1 Coral Beauty
2 occelaris clowns and one anemone
1 carpet anemone
1 bubble coral,
1 sarcophyton,
a few zooanthides
2 elegance
3 tubes worms
1 giant turbo
Aquarium is 3 years old.
Thank you in advance::bdaysmile:
