Hello all, I am trying to figure out why im 1/3 on cyphastrea and 2/3 on candy cane. Every other coral looks to be growing ok. i noticed cyphastrea loosing tissue and moved it to lower light but it got worse, candy cane teal on was receding a lot but might be improving. Pics of all other “harder to keep corals” that are doing ok. Any help would be apreciated 😁

Coral are always going to have a rougher time with a new tank. More chemical imbalances along the road to maturity. Also not mentioned would be lighting and flow as a factor. Parameters look good save phos being high.
