Is my green slimer dying? tank is 3 months old currently have a frag of gsp which is growing beautifully.
Also should mention that I’m completely new to saltwater. I have a 13.5 gal eco also have two clownfish a hermit and turbo snails. After reading online I’m thinking maybe my tank is still to new.

Agree the tank looks very new, especially for a picky sps like green slimer, you picked a difficult coral for your first one.

Try mushrooms and zoa's and leather corals, they are more forgiving, but still require a stable environment.

Tank is still pretty new and if you’re using the stock light on the evo, that light won’t be enough for sps. Try some softies such as zoas, mushrooms , some clove polyps?

So many factors go into keeping coral esp sps. Take a few steps back, slow down and when you get your tank in a better routine and understanding, add some coral. As suggested start with some easier ones before moving up to sps.
thank you
