    My wife and I bought this clove polyp rock a couple of days ago. They looked awesome their but looked like the pic when we got them home and haven't changed since. I slow dripped acclimated them and got them in the DT. Should I be concerned? Do I just need to wait it out for a few days? All my other corals are doing fine. Whatcha think?

    one second lok, they seem to be in a high flow area. try moving them around to an area of less flow, maybee even a little less light. how old is your tank>?

    Our tank is about a year old. I think the way I set them up makes them look like they have a lot of flow on them, but I'll move them to another area to see if that helps. Thanks again.

    Take a very soft old tooth brush and clean them off . After a few days and not feeding they will start to go into a downward decline , Like Green Starts and Pipe Organs if there is anything that has settled onto them they will not open
