Hello everyone, today I got an order in from LiveAquaria that included an Orange Eye Leptastrea. I haven’t had very many LPS in my time and with very little success. I’ve gone all out on my most recent setup in a way I was never able to before so I felt comfortable trying it again. Well it gets here and it’s shriveled up in a way that I have never seen LPS before. It sort of looks like brain coral now. It appears that some polyps May have died during shipping because I can see spots of exposed skeleton with no fleshy bits on it. My parameters are good and I keep a very close eye on it especially when I have new arrivals coming. Temp is 78F and specific gravity is 1.025. Water flow is medium indirect and lighting is moderate. Thanks for any input.
Note: the lighting is not near as blue as it shows in this photo. The camera just makes it seem that way. I’ll post a better quality picture when I get a chance.
