Yeah looks like a stunner- Here is mine:

Start:

7 months later:

I refuse to believe those two pictures are of the same coral. The first coral looks like Turbinaria while the second looks like Echinopora. They also are surrounded by different corals.

Hate to contradict you but I disagree, would have to be a very unhappy turbinaria for it to look like that, plus they do look like the small polyps of a Hollywood stunner, also could've rearranged the background corals



Though @vetteguy53081 now that @encrustingacro said it I have to be sure, are you pulling our leg?

The first photo has a smooth coenosteum and corallites on the edge of the plate, characteristics of Turbinaria. The second photo had papillae on its coenosteum, a characteristic of Echinopora (lamellosa).

Temp 78
I keep my alk around 8.5
Nitrates were 0
Yall gonna hate me bc I only test these. I dose all for reef and trying to save money by only buying alk reagents

This is your problem… start feeding your fish more or add more fish! You need to get them nitrates up to at least 10 if not more if you want happy corals.

Okay back again. I have done 3 big water changes since with new filters on rodi. Everything was improving until today. Now it looks worse than ever. Before it was pale as a whole now looks like RTN. Any thoughts?
