Hi so I bought a large monti 1 month ago - so large in fact I didn’t realise the size until I bought it. On the way home half the coral was out of water and covering with a damp towel and occasionally splashing water over it to keep it moist.
very difficult to acclimate it so best I could do was add it to the tank. A lot of handling a lot of sliming took place to get it in.
Since then I have lost a lot of the coral not sure if it’s bleaching or completely dying any ideas. Only recently few days ago my green monti which I’ve had for nearly a year has started going white too. Not sure if it’s being stung by the nems or what?
Any ideas

my latest tank parameters are

nitrates 30
Ammonia 0 nitrite 0
Ph 8.2
Salinity 1.025
Temp 25.3

Dkh 8.1
Cal 460
Mg 1440
Po 1


Phosphates are high and we’re 2.4 on the 16th November have been trying to cut them down.
Rest of the parameters stay pretty stable no dosing just weekly water changes. Any help appreciated.
