Will the Fungia live?

[lilbitreefer]

Ok, so I got this fungia coral from a guy getting out of the hobby. I am not sure how well it is doing. I placed it in the tank it seems bleeched out but does have a few dark stripes so hopefully there are still some zoazanthelle. It does have an active feeding response and takes in reef roid readily. But the day after I feed it the tissue seems to receed near the mouth and I can see the stoney plates. I will post pictures and a timelapse video of it eating. It did give it a drop of polypbooster a minute before the video which is why his mouth was opening.

Would it be advisable to spot feed it reef roids daily or every other day? I am not worried about nutrients right now as they are all 0 and I am running zeovit.

By zero nutrients do you mean 0 nitrates and 0 phosphates?

That's a pretty cool video btw

 

[lilbitreefer]

yes to the nitrates and phosphates. I am dosing a bunch of zeovit blue bottles right now. so nutrients really aren't low, Nitrates and phosphates are 0

 

[lilbitreefer]

sorry inserted the wrong picture, ignore my urchin he likes to rearrange corals for me.

You should have some nitrates and phosphates for the coral to feed on, zero isn't good. What type of lighting are you running?

I have an algae problem so it has taken it all up. I am trying to add more nutrients but it's not working. Since implementing the zeovit system and adding a foxface the nuisance algae is slowing down. I have two geisman vervves.
