new SPS frag, take a look

[jb_46]

I just added my first SPS frag today! I think it is a green acropora sp., please correct me if I'm wrong. Here is a picture of it about 1 hour after it was placed in my tank.

Are there any dangers I need to watch for in the next week or so while it adjusts to my tank.

I am running a coralife aqualight pro with 2 65W PC actinic and 1 150W HQI. Right now it is about 4 in lower then I plan to put it when it gets adjusted to the lights.

You want to acclimate new corals to light very slowly. Read this article by Anthony Calfo on acclimation of lighting:
