Hi,
I purchased 2 plate corals at the end of may early June.
neither was in great shape, I like to save corals. They both had colour and flesh but weren't puffy with a lot of tentacle.
1 is a 2" orange plate. Not puffy and very small tentacles.
The blue one has flesh, puffs up at night a bit and I'm just seeing little bumps on it - no tentacle extension.
My parameters are pretty stable
sg 1.025
alk 8.4
ca 425
mag 1440
n03 5
p04 0.02
temp 79
I do weekly waterchanges - no tap water.
Aquaforest salt
feed lps pellets and reef roids twice a week
15g 24x13x13
Ai Prime light set at
94% blue
90%db
84% UV and V
white 25%
red 25%
green 20%
2 hr ramp up and down, peak lighting from 1 -8pm
could it be too much light or too much flow?
Nothing else in my tank has issues.
Tanks full of various euphylia, birdsnest, monti, acans, zoas, rics, and a gorg.
Appreciate any help
