Tips for Corals after acclimationUpdated 2 months ago

It is good practice to check for pests and to give your coral a dip to ensure no hitchhikers are present.  

When placing your new coral in your aquarium it is important to never induce shock by placing it directly under strong light. Instead, start it off in a shadier position and slowly move it to its final position after a few weeks.  

If your new coral isn’t opening alter the amount of flow or light and see if it responds better. Euphyllia (Hammers, Torches & Frogspawns) can suffer from acclimation problems if they are not placed in moderate flow initially to encourage them to open.  Make sure your coral is placed in strong indirect flow.
