Coral Dying (maybe?)

[Austin B]

I drop acclimated this coral and now it looks like this. Any ideas? Water parameters are perfect.

Give it a bit if you just introduced it.

 

[Vahanyos]

Lots of factors to consider...

Lightning schedule in the previous tank, lighting intensity, placement, how long you drip acclimated it for, your water temp, salinity, etc... vs the tank it was in before...

Give it at least 3-4 days for it to adjust and see how it looks then.

Try placing it low down in the tank for the first few days .. somewhere with low to medium flow .. needs time too adjust too your tank ..

Did you dip the coral as well as drip aclimate it ??

 

[Fishfinder]

and "perfect" is a very relative term

Just as a note .. lots of people .. myself included, don’t drip aclimate corals .. so long as you acclimatize the temp by floating the bag then dip the coral in reef dip( or something similar) .. then straight in the tank ... then aclimate with the lights .. but the dip is important it will get rid of any or most pests that might have come with it ., you should dip all your corals !!. here’s a link too a thread on Bayers reef dip !
