Hi
Just received a micromussa today and placed it tank…. When I came back down after 5 mins I found him in substrate…… replace him but he started sliming…… is this because he was stressed and will it recover? Will the slime irritate other corals?
Thanks

yes its normal for corals to slime when they are stressed or irritated. To be honest I don't know if the slime-off is harmful to other corals, but I always run some carbon just in case.
