    It might irritate some corals when it sloughs off. Test all of your parameters to see why they are slimeing.

    OK yeah they are just dealing with different water and shipping stress. Just try to remove any that gets on other coral.

    Only if there is a change from your normal parameters or it is part of your schedule.
