My tank is six months old and just made took the plunge into adding coral. I added a toadstool, a couple mushrooms, a clove polyp, a green nepthea, a candy cane and two zoa frags.
I added the zoa frags a week ago, they opened a bit at first, but since then, they have been closed. One tiny polyp has tried to open, but yesterday I noticed what could be bleaching happening on one of the polyps. Until now, all the other corals have been seemingly healthy. The only anomaly is today the toadstool is closed, and it hasn't been until now. I have no idea what's wrong.
Tank specs:
Waterbox Cube10
Running the BRS Ai prime nano lighting schedule with the whites turned up a bit because it's more visually appealing.
Parameters:
pH: 7.8
Alk: 9.4 dkh
NO3: 0ppm
PO4: .04ppm
Ca: 480ppm
NaCl: 35.3ppt
Temp: 78
Thoughts?
