    Right now regular water changes should take care of it. You will want to monitor your Ca, Mg and alk to keep them in line for SPS coral.

    Another one takes the bait, that wont be your last, I'm willing to bet. Just give it good flow, strong light, stable parameters, and make sure your big 3 (alk, cla, and mag) are all where they should be. Good look, take some pictures!
