I purchased a hammer coral from a LFS 5 days ago. Shortly after placing in my tank, the polyps receded and haven't extended since. It's on a frag rack in an area with good flow and PAR about 100. Water parameters are:
Alk: 9-9.4
Ca: 420
Mg: 1400
ammonia: 0.0 to 0.1
nitrite: 0.0
nitrate: 5-10
phosphate: 0.05 to 0.1
salinity: 1.025
pH: 8.0
temp: 78-79
I'm feeding with 30 mL Reef Energy AB+ daily and reef chili/reef roids every 2-3 day. I also dose 12 mL NoPox daily to keep nitrates and phosphates in check. I've attached a pic.
I think parameters are fine and am guessing I should give it time but wanted to see if anyone had other ideas. All other corals look good and fish are fine.
