Still very depressing to see whole colonies die in a couple of days. I think in the future, i'll acclimatize my larger, more costly, pieces of corals. Just to try to give them the best chanced at surviving.

84.5 sounds pretty high. I was told (Paul @ Oceanic Corals) that 82 is quite high for SPS. Your new coral might not be used to the high temp. Well, I should let the experts talk since I'm still new to reef.... LOL
