Hey guys! Wife picked this coral up about 2 weeks ago from corals anonymous. Everything from them was absolutely amazing and has done well, except the xenia we tried again. We just can't keep xenia in our tanks.

Anyway, this favia... We can't really tell if it's doing well or deteriorating/adjusting to our tank still. Pics below.

Lights are Current USA R24 Orbit leds x3. It's placed on a big rock on the far left of the tank, about 4-5 inches off the sand bed. This area of the tank gets lowish to moderate indirect flow. I feed with a turkey baster once or twice per week.

Ph - 7.9
Nitrite - 0
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate between 10-20.

I haven't checked the other levels in a few days, but plan to asap. Last time I checked though, everything was fine. Thanks!

Looks okay to me. Doesn’t look completely deflated, no tissue loss, doesn’t look pale or discolored. I don’t really see problems with it.
