Clove Polyps - salvageable?

[chaserdogg01]

That all looks great. Moving the coral to a lower light area light area and observing any changes may help. No changes, then it might be another issue with the tank. If the other coral are fine, I would assume its either not happy with light, or just moody. Your parameters are great.

Okay thank you! I'm going to run parameters tonight after work and ill try pushing the clove polyps to a more shaded area in the same flow. Everybody else is doing great, really just this clove polyp being stubborn. Will report back with refreshed parameters tonight!

Okay ran parameters just now. Didn’t have time for phosphates before I left office so will do tomorrow morning.

Alk - 7.7
Mag - 1200
Nitrate - 10-25 (but certainly closer in color to 10, would estimate 15)
pH - 8-8.15
Salinity - 35 PPT
Calcium - 450

Also moved it to a lower flow region of tank as have been seeing that they do not like flow at all and the neighboring GSP and toadstool have a notable amount of flow when the UV filter kicks on from 12-6 each day. Will see how they like the new zone come morning!

Good morning all,

Didn’t have time to check phos this morning, but here is an update pic and video.

Almost think the flow is too high here as well. I don’t imagine they should have this much tilt in their stalks?

Thank you!

Progress today - think the new location and lowering of lights helped a ton. Finally got some polyps opening

Great to see! Just keep it consistent and it will adjust. Dont move it unless its not happy for a week straight or so.

Last update because they are almost all open just a few weeks later and I’m happy I didn’t give up on them!
