What kind of lighting
- Thread starter zooty
- Start date
I would love to help, but I have no idea what they are.
Do you know what region they are from?
Did you inquire of the parameters in the tank they came from?
What type of lighting were they under before you purchased them?
Are they zoas or palys?
I always start low and away from touching any corals at all until they have acclimated and settled in and adjusted to your parameters. Whether they were shipped or picked up, they will be stressed and just need to be placed on the substrate and left alone for a while. Make sure current wiggles them slightly as some will slim light to heavy due to stress. The current will help to remove the slim naturally. If you have a QT that would be even better initially. I always, always run actinics only fore first full photoperiod.
Good luck.

I appreciate the advice and honestly I don't get into the whole named zoas business but a guy in my reef club had these and they are pretty nice. I got these cheap (relative to retail) and with a trade. I have a lot of zoas already and have had good luck with them, just seems whenever I actually get the "higher end" stuff I have bad luck with. Was just hoping that someone may be familiar with these.
Thanks!
