Does anyone have experience with Symphillia Wilsoni and how to keep them? I made an impulse buy when WWC had a sale and it's a gorgeous coral but it's tissue seems to be dying very slowly? Still has plenty of color. I've had it for like 2-3 weeks now but I have noticed that it seems to be declining. What parameters/lighting/flow/placement is ideal for these guys? I'd hate to lose it.

Your calcium is a bit low but Im not sure thats the cause, do you test weekly? What are your params a week ago. Also where is it placed and how much light and flow is it getting?

I just recently added corals to my tank so I've only been testing NO3 & PO4 up until now. Alk was at 8 the last time I tested like 2 weeks ago though. Doing a water change as we speak as well. I use Red Sea blue bucket.

You definitely want to keep params stable 8-7.6 is probably not too bad but keeping things stable is good for reef tanks, where is the coral placed?

Try to move it out of direct light and see what happens
