So I just purchased my very first blasto, I drip acclimated and dipped now he is in the tank, is this picture normal? It looks like he is squeezing stuff out like little greenish yellow things, please tell me this is normal

Patience grasshopper, patience.

Corals need a day or so to acclimate and sometimes longer. It just got yanked from its home, stuffed in a plastic bag, transported some distance, yanked out of that bag, stuffed in a drip acclimation container, yanked from that container, and placed in an entirely new environment. Ever take a long trip to a foreign country with completely different weather and time zone? It kinda feels like that. It needs some time.

Patience, grasshopper.

Your right, I was just making sure it was “normal” in the sense that it’s not disintegrating, it’s crazy because practically all of the palys I ordered with it are all coming back out already lol

Turn those lights down. Go to all blue for next 36 hours, You have to set acclimation modes for coral like this. And then let it adjust to tank and conditions within tank

Palys are cockroaches (in the sense that they are literally unkillable). Never had a single paly or zoa colony stay closed more than a day or two after shipping. The bigger LPS stuff takes a minute to get used to our tanks.
