Gulls Posted March 10 hi all i recently bought a torch coral frag. It iwas way smaller than I thought. Post proper accumulation, I placed it in my nano my parameters are as under ammonia : 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 20 ppm Ph: 8.2 Po4: 0.03 Alk: 7.3 calc: 400 the torch is still shrunk and the tentacles are not extending i tried lowering the flow and reduced the light intensity. It showed done response but yet the tentacles are not extending as it was before I got them . I changed the placement and placed it on the stand and a bit away from direct overhead light any idea what I can do? rgds Quote Share this post Link to post
Diamonds x Pearls Posted March 10 How long ago was the purchase? I've seen some torch corals enter my store and stay relatively closed-up for at least 2-3 days. I would say be patient and keep it from strong lighting and flow like you already have. A common practice of acclimating corals is setting it at the bottom of the tank and eventually moving it a higher placement where you intended it in gradual steps. Quote Share this post Link to post
Gulls Posted March 11 Hi its exactly a week now since I purchased. The skeleton looks shattered. Maybe it wasn’t fragged appropriately. Quote Share this post Link to post
