QUESTIONS:
PLEASE, PLEASE, ANSWER THESE!!!

Frogskin Acropora

I do believe it is close to being colored to the correct color so no question there. Just wondering what the polyps should look like on this one? Like extension etc. Just want to make sure it likes the spot it is in!

Green Birdnest

Look how brown that thing is! I am really worried about this one and it is the only one that I am!

How long should it take to color up? Is it ok right next to the acropora like that?

Everything else seems okay after being delayed for about 3 and a half hours. Again please get back to me on these questions so I know how to deal with everything.

 

Frogskin has very little PE (polyp extension). It is fairly tolerant of flow conditions, just make sure it gets tons of light.

Browned out corals can take up to months to recover, but you should start to see improvements within a few days.

Both acros and birdnest are fairly non aggressive. They should be fine next to each other, as long as they do not touch. Eventually, they might due to growth, and one will win.

 

Gorgeous! That clam looks mighty happy!!

Your coral should color back up. It can take days or months, like jon jon said.

Also, remember that things will look different under your lights than they did in the DD picture.

 

ditto on what jon said.

Were those on a black plug when you got them? Did they come straight from live aquaria?

 

Great adds, congrats, give the browns time they will color up great.

 

Only the Frogskin was on a black plug and yeah they came straight from Live Aquaria why?

 

Birdnest corals seem to brown easier durring transport than most SPS IME but i still love them the most ;-)

 

Alright apparently by adding my SPS it has triggered some sort of reaction in my tank! Everything is pooping! Both clams, duncan colony, acan head, anemone, and some favia heads!

WHY?! lol The Derasa clam pretty much has been pooping since it got here. Bad sign or good sign?

 

Ahhh behold the beauty! You are now hooked on sps, good luck returning to the other side. 8)

 

I know!!! I am most excited about my cap growing!
