I just bought a 4 head frag of Australian green splatter goniastrea two nights ago for my 10 gallon nano and it's showing a little tissue recession on some of the edges. Also the maroon color is a little faded from when I first put it in. My water parameters are fine, 78.5 F, 1.025, 0 nitrates, 0 phosphate, 8.0 ph, 440 calcium, kh 8, moderate water flow, bottom just-right-of-middle front of tank under 70w MH.
I did not see any feeder tentacles come out the first two nights but I figured it was settling. All my other LPS and softies are looking great, so it's not a tank wide issue. It's not near any other coral that would harm it. I want to do everything I can to make sure it makes it, any ideas? Too much light? Melafix dip before I put it in (after 45 min of acclimation)?
