polyps not out

[cwb_reeftank]

my temps are finally stable, my Ca and Mg are fine and my dKH is coming down but I got this new sps frag on Friday and the polyps are still not out and it still hasn't colored up either? should I just give it more time or something?

What kind of SPS?

 

[cwb_reeftank]

well I got it from cherry coral it was a replacement so idk and I wont be able to post a pick till maybe Friday but it looks like a type of blue millepora?

 

[cwb_reeftank]

maybe acropora?

What is the placement and what kind of light are you running?

 

[cwb_reeftank]

I think its actually the sweet blue tenuis and I have it near the top of my tank and I have 4 t5s on now and I'm thinking about turning my MH on for a hour near morning time and then once more for an hour in the evening

More light may help it out, also make sure it's getting enough flow. I would also check nitrate and phosphates.

I have a 55 gallon with a hydor 1500 and a hydor 1150

As long as it is in a high flow area that should be fine. I would just check and make sure nitrates and phosphates aren't high. As long as they all check out give it time. It may just need to be moved down to adjust to the lighting.

ok I wont be able to check them till Friday or Saturday though

ok I had my mom turn my MH on for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. once I got home today I saw that my grapevine favia has turned white, my meteor shower has change from blue to I don't even know what color like a brownish?, my tyree red dragon is turning white at the base, and my sweet blue tenius is still white with a blue tip.I have plenty of flow them temps are stable I am still going to test tomorrow and do a water change. I don't understand why though because my montipora is doing fine and so is my hammer and frogspawn. I need help haha
