Do I remove it from the tank? Will it kill other corals?

I think I over fed. Ammonia at .25, phosphate said 0 and nitrate a little higher too (5). Tested by an API kit, so it means nothing.

We've had the coral a week.

I changed water 20%

Then I did something stupid. I moved it to a container full of clean salt water floated in the tank, but shaded so the lights wouldn't be too bright. Yes, that was dumb. I feel bad. I don't need to be told it was bad.....

Now it looks like this. Do I take it out? Or wait?

Floated in a cup with no light for a while, and thats all? It's fine just give it some time.

How did you get it home? Leave it on your dashboard in full sunlight, or in cup/bag with no light?

It's just PO'ed, it'll be fine.
