Newbie with some questions??????

[corb66]

Hi all, I have been lurking on the board for a couple months now so I thought I would finally post a question.

I purchased these two corals at the big VMA sale on Friday. On Saturday they looked great, just like they did in the store. Now they don't look so good. The open brain, won't open and the mushrooms look like mush. What do you all think?

All of my tests have come back good and I have tried moving them to different locations.

Oh, and please no comments on the bad photography. ;)

Thanks,
Stacie

moving them around could be aggitating em. THey've been through allot over the past couple weeks. Leave em alone for awhile and see if they start looking better. What type of lighting, filtration, ext, are you running?

The tank is a 70g, 48x18x24. with corner overflow. Lights: 2 55W 10K PC's & 2 55W Actinic 03's (want to upgrade to MH). Filtration: 30g Berlin Sump and a protein skimmer. I also have 2 Hagen 402 powerheads in each corner.

Thanks,
Stacie

how long's your tank been up? also, the brain would be much happier on the sandbed. nice shrooms too... i hope they make a comeback.
