Receiving a Forbidden Bleeding Apple Scolymia with slight tissue recession tomorrow for free, advice on how to save it?

[Mason Michalski]

Hey guys, one of my business partners has gotten extremely busy with his primary business and doesn't have time to take care of his corals and is handing off to me a very expensive Scoly for free with the hopes I can save it from some slight tissue recession. No pics on my end yet. I have a pristine 150 Gal with no sand sifters to bother it, so what can I do to give this Scoly the best chance of recovery? I have everything running on Tropic Marine All For Reef 36ml per day through Neptune DOS, and a 48" 4x T5 Led Blue + Fixture (7 hours) with 2 Ai Hydra 26 HD's (10 hours) with many different placements areas from low flow to high flow, low light to high light. Attached is pic of tank for placement

maybe dose calcium for its tissue best of luck

You should be fine. I would just place it on the bottom in a lower flow area.

To start I'd say just place it on the bottom and let it get settled in, feed it occasionally after lights out.

Thank you guys! I will go low flow under a slight outcrop away from high flow and feed krill and pellets 3 times a week at night, I dose Amino Acids from Aquavitro as well so hopefully it has all it needs to thrive.

All for reef includes calcium.
Just put it in the bottom and keep stress at a minimum
