Hi, a week ago I got two frags of Beach Bum monti. I'm in Australia and ironically stuff like this is very hard to get hold of. Apparently the vast majority of our wild collected sps goes to USA where there is a much bigger market and price. So it would be really nice if I could get these to live haha.
Unfortunately the dealer shipped them on a 100 degree + day and they arrived browned out and not happy. I haven't seen a polyp out as yet. They were in about 150 PAR (measured by Seneye) under a prime HD in my Q tank. The tops of a few of the nodules turned pale to white so I moved them out to around 110 par thinking this might be bleaching.
Alk is 7.2
Calcium 400
mag 1400
Po4 .03 Hanna
No3 under 1ppm Red Sea pro
I'd much appreciate any tips from you guys please. Am I on the right track?
They've had two dips in Polyp Lab Reef Primer and giving them a little bit of Reef Roids every couple nights but yeah haven't seen any polyp extensions so doubt they are feeding.
