I just acquired a bunch of pieces of Nepthea, at least that's what I think it is.
It came out of a friends tank that has been severly neglected for 2 years (helping take the tank down). Anyways these corals haven't seen much light in a very long time. The T5s where still running on normal schedule, but the amount of algae in the tank covered them up mostly.
They where very thick and firm. Now that I've transferred them they appear to be shrinking, and floppy. I drip acclimated them for 1 hour, discarding 1/2 water at 30mins. The tank they came out of was at 1.021, where my tanks are at 1.025.
I've read conflicting information...low light/flow...high light/flow.
I'm running my diy 216W fullspectrum LED lights during the mid-day peak of 76% power.
This is the 3rd day I've had them in my tank. Is their "wilting" normal due to the relocation, or is there something I should be working on?
Thanks for your replys.
