How do my clover polyps looking (dead?)

[JACKS REEF]

I just acclimated my clover polyps yesterday this is my first coral and my parameter’s are good.
Specific gravity 1.024

Temp 79.3

DKH is 7 low

Calcium 420
Since I only have one coral should I dose calcium and alkalinity once a week?

Here are the pictures

Cloves can take a couple of days to acclimate and open up

29 gallon haven’t dosed any alkalinity just get it naturally from water changes but I did order a 2 part solution for dosing

Do you think they will grow onto that rock right beside them

 

[fishguy242]

yes they will spread ,just nudge them against,as far as dosing,29 gal,would stay the course,w changes,testing,hold off on dosing until needed,do not chase numbers..go slow

They'll eventually grow on every surface in your tank. Clove polyps are the reason I restarted a tank, and I will never put them in another tank.

7 DKH is perfectly fine(natural seawater is 7DKH), if that is your only coral, you won't need any 2 part dosing for a long time.

I had a rock of pulsing Xenia and some of the polyps came off the rock. I found one yesterday on top of a rock. I like the cloves and Xenia so I'll deal with their spread accordingly. I hope lol

So should I put them against a different surface In my tank?

Won't have to, they will literally be everywhere when they take off.

 

[fishguy242]

Will they grow on the glass because they would look cool
