So what made my colt coral die within days of introducing it to my tank? Colt corals are soft corals recommended for beginners. In fact if I bring a coral again, it is probably going to be a colt coral.

Based on the general opinion, it sounds like your salinity was too low.

^ Yep. Low salinity. Keep your tank at 1.025 and your fish and corals will be fine.
