I temp. acclimated in bag for about 30 min. & then added some tank water and allowed to sit for another 30 min. then added to tank.
I have no corals in direct flow and none are touching one another and they're not anywhere near any lps.
The polyps do show during day & night so I guess that's good. I did notice something else though and maybe it's just a barnacle? it's not easy to see but it's on the right of the coral and this is the area that's turning white
