This is what it looked like when I got it a week and a half ago
It eventually all opened up for the most part besides a few polyps.
This is what it looks like today
Some of the polyps are looking not as vibrant and don’t have all their color. I have noticed that there have been quite a few more polyps that have been growing but I found it strange when I saw some existing polyps not looking as vibrant. Could it be bleaching? Could it be the algae I couldn’t remove that is still on top of some polyps? Could it be the dip that I did? Could it also be due to the fact that I have a little bit of temperature fluctuations every now and then going anywhere from 78-80? Could me not feeding them be an issue? I know they rely mostly on light so I haven’t fed anything and the only food source they get it stuff in the water column. Could it be my lights? They’re the Biocube stock lights. They may be too strong. Could it be that I raised my salinity from 1.024-1.026 and finished a month ago? These are all the possibilities I think that could be going wrong. What do you think?
FYI, I did create another post earlier but the title may have been misleading and didn’t get a lot of traction.
