new coral help

Hi there everyone, Just yesterday I purchased this scoly. It looked like the photo below in the store and I thought nothing of it because I thought it would look nice and subtle in my aquarium. But today I looked at it more closely and I realised that it looks quite poorly and not just a...

Hey all! I finally got my first corals for my first tank! Thanks so much to everyone here that has helped me with questions as I have gone along. I picked up these Torch corals yesterday and got them added. I know they like high flow, but wanted to make sure this wasn't *too* high? They were...

For my 5 gallon tall pico tank, I am about to put in some corals, but I am not completely sure which ones I should start out with. This is my first reef tank and I am a complete beginner so I researched a bit and decided that soft corals would probably be the best to start out with. My current...

Hey all! Just got my first couple corals. When do you experienced keepers recommend turning on the lights? I was thinking after 24/48 hours or so on acclimation mode. But would love advice! Corals have been in about 3hrs now and are sitting on the bottom of the tank LPS: Micro Lord (seem fine)...

Hi everyone! I'm looking at a 56 gallon tank and I want to have as many fish/coal/invertibrates as possible. I'd love to have as much color, variety, and movement in my tank as possible. Is it still the 1" per gallon rule? Thanks! I also plan on adding several invertebrates I'm also...

Somebody gave me this coral frag but neglected to tell me what exactly it is.. Or what is wrong with it I've only had it a couple of days now

I recently got a torch coral. It is my first coral and I am trying to do everything right. I acclimated it yesterday through the drip method then used dip and checked all over for eggs and stuck on hitchhikers. I placed it in the tank and it was closed up. Over night it opened up and is still...
