Buddy gave me a lot of his coral to bring back to life.

Quality water and stabile parameters. Dipped them before they went into my tank. Feed quality foods and lower lighting. He is going full SPS now that I got his tank in order.

I lost my acans but when i had them they rarely had feeders out during the day, any ideas why? I lost them due to low alk/ calcium drop, now i test and dose regularly

They all look in a decent state. What I am not seeing is good polyp extension not to mention the tissue recession on some of the coral. All of them look like they can make a good recovery with enough care. Im sure feeding would go a long way in helping the corals out, but its critical that algae is kept to a minimum as it will take over the dead skeleton preventing recovery.

I bet those scolys look great when they are healed up. It is sad to see when they get super retracted!
