Apparently I’ve killed my green slimer sps. I’m slowly easing some sps into my mixed reef. I’m targeting easy sps. I was told green slimer is near indestructible and great starter sps. It appears bleached. However I kept it I middle of tank at start. Once I saw it lighten up I immediately dropped it to the sand bed where it continued to bleach. It’s been like this for 2 weeks. Where did I go wrong so I can avoid this outcome in the future.
