Hi. New to corals, reef tanks in general I guess.
The first coral I've bought is a frammer. Saw it at the local LPS and bought maybe a little bit impulsively. It was really pretty and fully extended in the store, but it hasn't opened like that at home. All of the heads aren't fully closed up but mostly.
I left it for about two weeks to let it adjust but it still isn't happy.
It's in an area with moderate lighting but low flow - I just moved it to get more of both in case that was it.
I don't have a picture right now, but will post one soon. I'm on my break at work haha.
What am I doing wrong?
pH 8
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
I have ordered other test kits (magnesium, calcium, phosphate) but they haven't arrived yet.
Also having a bit of a dino flare-up, could that be causing it?
How long do they take to settle in? Is it just a matter of time?
Thank you.
