Nothing.....I just added this and a few other corals a few days ago, (I bought them from a local guy that was shutting down)

So far the red planet still looks fine.....not the best color but like I said it's only been in for a few days.

Tis the season for RTN and tank crashes it seems.

Have you dipped to confirm you don't have any AEFW?

Looking at that link, they all look very bleached. How long is your light cycle?

No...I didn't think that would be necessary.....I bought then from Danny Z when he shut down and he never had any problems with them.

Should I have?

Ya, always with any new coral, regardless of where it came from

Dusk to dawn (4x54watt T-5) 7:30-8
day lights (4x54watt T-5) 8:30-7

That should be ok right?

My bulbs are as follows

4x ATI Blue+
2x ATI Aquablue special
1x Giessaman Aqua pink
1x Giessaman Pure Actinic

Might be a bit much. I use about 7 hours of daylight, seems to work well. With too much light, they can over oxidize nutrients at the cellular level, causing bleaching. I'd maybe back off a few hours and let them darken up, then reassess from there.
