I have had my reef tank for several years. Up till now, I only had soft corals, all of which have done very well.
Last week I decided to give hard corals a try. I bought a Brain Coral, Lobophyllia and Candy Cane Coral (Caulastrea furcata).
My tank is a 55gal with CSL Moonlight (4x65PC).
Several questions (some are going to sound very basic (dumb?).
How long until the corals look like the pictures I've seen? The coloring just doesn't seem to be there yet. The Brian coral seems to have changed a bit, but not all that much. The Candy Cane is just like when I put it in, coloration seems a bit on the pale side.
I have both of the located about halfway UP the tank. Neither is close to anything else.
I've read that these corals should be fed. What do they get fed and how often?
Thanks.
