Order 867224 of 4/21/09

[GunnerO]

Guys, I've got some questions on the corals from this order.
My Frogspawn-Brance arrived fine, all brances but one was alive. In the course of the last few days only one large branch is ok. I can see the brown residue from the other branches. I did a Lugal dip with no noticeable results. I have photos.

I can't tell if the Candy Cane w/ Green Centers are alive or not. The centers are still green but the tips of the polyps are getting abit of tan specks. I did a Lugal dip with these also and have photos.

The Ricordea Yuma polyps were very small and within a few days, they all disappeared! I had them high in the tank with medium water flow, so I don't have a clue on what happened to them.

BTW, the Trumpet Corals, Orange Sun Polyp, Yellow Polyps,Zoanthids, and Pumping Xenia's are doing great. The Umbrella Leather and other corals from my previous order are doing great. Thanks.

Kris,
To answer you questions:
1. How was the water temp. in the bag's when the Corals arrived?

The water temp averaged at 78 degrees. I took almost 3 hours to acclimate all the animals, MT water temp was 79 degrees.

2. Do all of your water parameters check out?
I did a 20% water change 24 hours before arrival, PH was 8.4, Salinity was 1.024, Calcium 400-425ppm, nitrates , ammonia, and nitirites were 0 PPm. I use RO/DI water.
