Hi All,
I'm a little new to the Reef Hobby, so I'm trying to take things slow and learn as much as possible.
Have had a tank up and running for about 4-5 months now. Everything in the tank (fish and corals) seems to be doing great.
However, I recently bought a coral at a LFS. I can't remember what it's name is; LFS guy definitely mentioned Australia but can anyone confirm what kind of coral it is?
The second point is that in the picture you can clearly see what I think is the green part receding and exposing the coral's spiny skeleton.
What can cause this? It's on the substrate, low flow, kind of low light.
My water parameters :
pH - 8.1
Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrite - 0 ppm
Nirtate - 30 ppm
Calcium - 361
dKH - 10.5
Phosphate - 0.25
SG - 1.025
I see the Nirtates and Phosphates a bit high?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
