![]() As I expected some of my coral was a little po'd after a tank transfer. Colors have been coming back nicely in all but my shades of fall acro. It's browned out and no polyp extension since move.
My params are good. No nitrate no phosphate. Temp 78 +- . haven't tested ca alk mg. but I do a 5g WC every 5 days on 45ish gallon system. Everything is happy otherwise. Dose flatworm stop, sponge power, vitalizer. Any idea what can help. |

![]() Leave it and pray to the reef gods. If everything else is doing well, the tank is fine, that coral is just ticked off. It will come back or it won't. Playing around with stuff could annoy the rest that are fine.

![]() Hate to say it but: time. I have a couple of frags that I PO'd in various ways that caused them to brown out. One frag turned green after 3 months and now, a total of 9 months after it turning brown, it's finally getting it's brilliant red back. I have an electric pink milli with blue tips that browned out. A year later it's finally getting its colour back.
What I did find that helped colour back up was feeding my fish heavily while simultaneously vodka/mb7 dosing. Once I started feeding really heavy my frags suddenly spang back to life. |

![]() I agree with Brad....there is one thing that we all need to realize and doing so will save a lot of us a lot of stress and hair pulling..... we take corals from the four corners of the earth.....different oceans and seas, different conditions.....we stuff them all into one tiny little box and expect them ALL to be happy....this IMHO is impossible.....personally, I have never run a tank where EVERY coral in the tank was 100% happy 100% of the time.....if 99% of the coral is doing great, then dont mess with your params....perhaps a re-location of Mr Grumpy is all that you need(like to my tank

![]() I guess this is what happens when you go from live rock to Marco. Need some time to mature |
