Hi all,

I got a shipment in from Saltwaterfish.com on Friday- Fedex was pretty late around 430-5pm.

Fish were drip acclimated- today they are all out and doing well.

Coral on the other hand-are not opening. I bought a hammer (places near two other hammers) a torch and lemoncello zoas.

Any ideas why? light were pretty much out on Friday given the time and yesterday I hD acclimation mode on 50% for the day (mobious controlled ai blade grow)

the zoas are by two other fully open zoa colonies

all of my other corals (2 hammers, 2 zoa colonies, candy can and duncan) are out and doing well

If your parameters on then it’s probably just going to take a few days.

That one looks fairly dead to me sadly! Are these your first coral? :) Might be beneficial to share some information about your tank like how old it is, what your parameters are etc.
