I got two corals last Thursday. A toadstool and a trumpet. Both have been doing fine, toadstool opened up after less than an hour, but tonight after lights out I went to take a look and saw it like this. Ammonia and nitrites are at zero, nitrates are at 10. I have two kessil 160WE over it (36 gallon bowfront) , I DID have the intensity at 50%, but yesterday I pushed it up to 60.

Can't figure out how to delete this, but my coral is fine. Looks like a flow issue and it got sand on it somehow.

Should be fine. It will adjust to your water parameters and may sloth some skin at some point. Totally normal.
