Bought a Green Eyed Blue Monster Echinopora Coral off live Aquaria about a month ago, he doesn’t look good right? Can he be saved?
This is my first time buying plating type corals, I bought a pachyseris and a monti at the same time, and they seem fine.
Pachyseris is at the top of my tank, monti is on a rock at the bottom.
I’ve had the echinopora at the top as well but I’m wondering if I need to move him? I spot feed with coral smoothie and phyto-feast every other day.
Tanks is 6 months old, stable parameters aside from a broken refractometer that had us doing water changes with 1.019 water for a month before we realized (tank got to 1.021), slowly brought salinity back up over 4 water changes to 1.025.
Last tests:
Alk 10.1
Cal 425
Ph 8.1
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0.015
Temp 78
Sal 1.025
Any advice? Lost cause?
Tank is 90DT/30sump
Refugium with chaeto
2 radion g4pros for lighting
2 hydor pumps
Vectra return pump
