I thought you might say that Timmy.

I do have a reef-related question for you: What are you using for flow in your tank?

Hey Timmy,

We had an exchange student from Göteborg and she never made cinnamon buns! Next Swedish student we will have to make sure to get one who cooks!

Timmy - I would try moving it a bit down in the tank in order for it to acclimate to the new lighting. I assume you're using metal halides? Ted had the corals all at the bottom, plus he had the light up higher for his display tanks.

How's the coral doing today? It'd be a pity to lose that one - it's such a beauty!

It was quite cold on Saturday evening, so maybe the coral is just a bit stressed from the transport. Give it a couple of days. Make sure there's enough flow...

Hi Timmy!

actually, it looks like it has good polyp expansion. Is the white actual tissue or skeleton. From the picture, it still looks like tissue. Is it still feeding? Do you see it actively feeding?
What are you parameters? How deep is your tank? What kind of lights are you using?

Are you doing the Zeovit system? Also, you might want to dose for Iron, as Iron is responsible for bringing out a lot of the green color in green corals. Are all your other parameters good (nitrates/phosphates)?

Is the white around the green skeleton or tissue?

Is this your first water change?? Why 40%?
