Hey everyone,

Got a torch last night and acclimated it but I don't think its doing so well. For starters, the shipping bag didn't smell so good and the water inside was very cloudy. I acclimated and did a SW rinse to get the rest of the mucas off before adding. Today the coral is still closed, however around the green center where the polyps are (can see color, no extension) the coral is oozing out large ammounts of brown clumpy/stringly material. Almost like its ditching all of its zoo or something. Any help? Thanks!
 
Ah, NM on this post the poor guy is dead, I think DOA. The hermits were on him like flys on carrion already. I just pulled him up close to the surface and almost gaged from the stench. My first RIP. Now to see if they make it right.
