So I added my first few frags a few days ago from a health established tank...

Are these white dots ok? Its that healthy growth or disease?

Please help ASAP

Thanks

Default Pic is there...Did you click the link for the pic?

The coral was out of a healthy live tank...

They looked fine when I put them in

I think its healthy polyps coming out for feeding...

What do you think?

Not sure if it's as hardy as the Yellow and red corals/anemone'things but looks like you just added a "leather" coral, they're quite easy to keep and by transferring it it may just be going through a shedding phase. The white dots in your picture are spaced as though they are polyps, maybe not fully extended but nothing to worry about just yet. Give it some time to come around

Default Thanks!

I appreciate the response... Amazing how this hobby can keep a guy up at night

Very new to this so the feedback is crucial

I fed the new frags snow today, and that happened

Hope they all grown fast and healthy

When can I move them to a more permanent spot? The sand isn't that deep

Thanks again!

Mike

No worries

How old is your tank and what type of lights are you using... I tend to place new frags on the bottom, too much light and new water conditions can cause more stress and bleaching.
Go slow, read lots and welcome to Canreef
