Pipe organ still acclimating?

[James5214]

So I have a pipe organ I purchased the other day it is my first Coral with my Xenia. Well some of the arms when they are open are white in the center instead of being that colorful neon green color. Is that because the coral is still new and acclimating to the tank is is it dieing? Thanks for any help!

In the video you can see better when some if the inside of the arms are the neon green and others aren't. I will try and get more pictures after work

Could be still acclimating. Give it some time.

Pipe organ is not a great first-time coral. But if you just give it what it needs it should do fine.

Yea I have been reading that. It's a softie but a little more sensitive than others and needs better quality water and stability. That is a mistake on my part but my parameters are all good so hopefully it is still acclimating

How many hours should I be running my light? And should I use a already preset like the Karen vasquez I believe from AI?
