Frammer coral

[christa1421]

I’ve had this frammer coral for a week. It took it a few days to open up, but when it did it looked great. However, I had it placed too close to one of my torches so I moved it on day 6. Now it has looked like this for few days. Is it dying? Any advice?

I guess wait and see. It's not entirely happy, but I don't think it's a lost cause yet. Torches can be one of the worst for stinging...

Took a few days to open up, you moved it. Now you need a couple more days. Also your magnesium went up during this time as well

Also what are you using to get those clean graphs

It’s an app on my phone…aquarium log.

I’ve been struggling with the magnesium. It’s always been on the higher side and I don’t know why or how to get that down. The only thing I dose is alkalinity about every 5 or 6 days. And I do water changes every 2 weeks. I know there’s mag and calcium in the salt mix (I use instant ocean reef crystals)

1500 is fine. Just can tell you either tested wrong or did a water change

I bet ur good in a couple days. I've had torches in the skeleton come back. This now 10+ header was almost dead in skeleton. Leave them be and let them decide
