Corals

Bought live rock from a hobbyist and let’s say it wasn’t packed nicely (but thats not the point).

 

I was shocked to find couple of corals attached to the rocks, and some of it was badly damaged. I wasn’t yet ready to take corals under my care because I have yet to get more wavemakers and T5 tubes.

 

Without any choice, I just placed them in my aquarium (research done) based on their requirement.

Safe to say, I think their health is improving. Any tips/feedback, negative or positive, do comment down in the comments’ section.

Hi Danial, Peter here. All these are soft corals so as long as you provide adequate flow and light should be okay. Leather corals and Zoas prefer medium to high flow and low to medium light conditions. Also watch for your algae as they can choke and outcompete your corals. Lastly, leather corals shed their ‘skin’ every now and then and polyps will remain closed while the shedding is going on.

Those zoa are paly, very hardy, last thing to die in the tank. 

Try not to feed anything for beginning, these coral can survive on light alone. If you add fishes too early, you might have to duel with algae.

Try to see if there is any pest on the rocks like aiptasia.
