I had an opportunity yesterday to get six distressed SPS corals along with a Derasa clam from a local reefer who is shutting down. It was a great deal and I’m happy with it. But I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to help some of these SPS.
I currently have lots of SPS in the tank and everybody is doing well but as you can see some of these are barely hanging on from the tank crash the reefer had. I do dose ~5ml if Acropower daily to help my corals.
1. Do you happen to know the name of any of these? I’m not sure they’re nameable and the current state but maybe what type of Acropora are they?
2. On the first coral picture, would you
off the green branch? I’m guessing it’s fully dead and covered in algae but wanted an opinion before I do anything.
3. Is there any other advice you would give me besides keeping my tank stable and giving them time.
Thanks TCoach

My new huge Derasa next to my 2-3” one (still waking up and not happy that I moved it)
