So about 4 weeks ago I picked up my first sticks. A ORA Frogskin, ORA Tri Color Validia, ORA Ice Tort, ORA Ant Insignis and a A&M Purple Fuzz. All are doing great after slowly acclimating to higher light except the Ant Insignis turned to a brown turd immediately after a dip in Bayer. I'm getting ready to mount all other corals to the rock work as they are looking/doing great. Should I leave the Ant Insignis on the rack or just mount it and see where it goes. No idea why this one browned out when all others are doing great. I do see some color coming back on the lower branches but nothing significant. Water Chem is as follows:
Temp-79
Salinity-1.025 (calibrated refrac)
Trate- undetectable (Red Sea)...working on raising this
P04-.02 (Hanna phosphorus)
Alk-8.0 (Hanna)
Cal-415-420 (Red Sea)
Mag- 1380 (Red Sea)
Any info on how to help this guy gain his color back is much appreciated!
