I got a frag a few weeks back that looks like it’s paling out and STNing. Does anyone have this coral doing well, if so, any suggestions and/or pictures for keeping it successfully? Thanks

Can you post pictures and list your current parameters? How long has your tank been set up? What kind of lighting are you using?

Mainly wanting others experience and or pictures. I’ve been at this hobby for close to 20 years and have the basics down.

If you got if from Reef Raft usa, I believe he keeps his alk around 8.5 and has radion g4 pros for lighting? Your tank much different than that? I have a lot of reef raft corals. I run my alk between 8 and 9 and also have radions. I do always start my frags on the sandbed or on a frag rack pretty low and then move them up.

Almost nobody has pictures of anything from RR USA because he doesn't grow out colonies much, he sells them until they're gone. You likely are one of the 6-7 people on that planet that will ever have one.

A lot of shops work this way. Don't be upset, or surprised. You are probably the only person that will be able to put up a picture.

He lights his SPS with G4 pro's and T5.

Well, not sure if many keep this one as a search was limited. I got mine from Aquavista and I run Ushio 14 K 400 watt halides, VHO and a few Kessil A360w. Alkalinity is 7.6, phosphate.05 and nitrate 10-15. Most of my other frags are doing well, but this one is on its way out. Probably 20” below the halides and other lamps.
