New here, First post, New tanks!

[MeatMountain]

Hey! Im just getting back in to the saltwater after a 10+ year break and attempting 2 reefs for the first time!


I bought a used 150 gallon setup with tank, stand, sand, sump and pump then I built a hood that goes to the ceiling for a "wall" look.

I also bought a 29 gallon biocube around the same time for a phantom clown-fish pair/mini reef.

I had a temp spike 83-85 about 10 days ago and I think my encrusting gorgonia is dead. What do you all think?

If the encrusting coral isn't completely white, it may recover

Welcome to R2R Thanks for joining us!

As Crabs stated, if there is a polyp or 2 hanging on, it may have a chance to bounce back.

It is still pretty pink but all of the "pores" are white and I haven't seen any activity for a while. I hope its ok, it was my biggest coral!
