New Corals Added Today!

[zachSalty]

Just got these two beauties today. I have food to target feed as well as amino acid food they gave me at the LFS. Any other advice?

I drip acclimated them. Right now they are on the blue light for an hour then will turn the regular light back on. As soon as they were placed they started to open right back up!

awesome corals! don't overdo it with the feeding (once a week or every other week should be fine if you want to feed soft corals), keep an eye on your parameters, and have fun. i have the same type of green rhodactis in my tank and it tripled in size over the course of two months with weekly target feeding, a low-flow area, and stable parameters. also, don't be surprised if the mushroom slides off the frag plug, they do have a foot and can move slightly. they even go by "disc anemones" sometimes.

Awesome thank you! So my rhodactis is in the front of my tank close to the rock to kinda help break the flow of the water. It seems happy because after about 5 mintues it opened up. The mushroom is behind the rock to help not get the flow to. Do you suspect it would move? Should I move it closer to the rock?

The rhodactis is the mushroom. The other look like zoas. Give them a day or two to settle.

My mistake.. sorry. They seem to be happy. The Zoa is open and colorful and the mushroom may have moved a bit but all the little green colors are out on him. Are clownfish safe for them? And Bristle worms?

Clowns or bristle worms won't bother them.
