For some reason every time I keep either an ORA Pearlberry or ORA Red Planet they both RTN on me within either 1 week or less. All my params are fine and all my other sps are fine. When I first acclimated them (the first time) I put them in the shade then slowly work their way up. However, my second time since they didn't last too long I put them directly under the lights 150 metal halide in a 16" tank. The Red planet didn't look so good so I moved him to only find out that he RTN on me the next morning. Any advice on how to keep these or why my success rate is so low?
 
It would also be helpful to know what other kinda of SPS you keep. Anything similar to the Red Planet?
 
These ora corals should be pretty easy so it doesn't make sense that all params are good and stable.
 
Mysterybox I will post the params tomorrow because I am too tired to retest tonight as far as anything similar to the ora redplanet I dont' really have anything close. I have a random tricolor acro DFS blue tenius, org tort and cali tort, tricolor scathe or whatever the name is, blue milli, green slimer and a german blue polyp, sunset monti. I also thought too that it was odd because ORA are supposed to be easier to take care of.
