Hi everyone I have set up my new tank about 3 weeks ago currently have pair of clownfish blue hippo tang and a peacock wrass all fish are good.i added 3 new corals on Saturday which are coming out but not like they were in the shop.its 2 frogspawn and 1 bubble coral which I don’t think is getting too much flow but what does everyone else think should I leave it a few more days then move it to other side where there is less current.

Photos of your tank?

Light and par?

You said you don't know if the flow is good, what are you using for flow (video would be helpful too)

This is the lighting at full intensity.the corals are coming out maybe they just need more time I was just getting other people’s opinions.

What size is the tank, the light settings seem low. I have mine at 80% on a 15 gallon softie tank, mostly mushrooms and zoa's.

4 days is hardly enough time for a coral to acclimate to a new tank, they can take weeks or even months, some finicky corals even take a year to acclimate

It’s about 70 litres ish and I might put the light intensity up depending how they go on but hopefully they will come round fully it’s only 12 inch deep tank
