Help about my scoly.

[Yellawait]

Hello, it's been 3 days now that I have this magnificent coral in my aquarium.

I noticed the day that the tissue of the coral stretches and it pierces its own flesh with the spikes in its skeleton.

I imagine he is stressed and of course we must let this coral acclimatize to the change of aquarium and parameter.

but as you know this coral is expensive and i'm afraid to do something wrong.

I have been feeding him direct Ab + and ReefRoid every day since he arrived to stimulate him and he seems to be eating well.

I show you a picture of it at night.

I have had trouble with my nitrate and phosphate for a few
weeks and I think I'll do a 10% water change every day for 1 week.

I would like to have your opinion on this whole story.

My parameters.
kh-10
calcium -400
Magnesium 1320
Nitrate- 7
Po4 - 2.04
Salinity -35ppt
Temp 78.

I would show a picture of this, in the pic you show it looks fine.

Today he don’t look stressed but you can see the damage

Look at the response

Those are totally normal. Your scoly looks good and has a great feeding response.
Don't be alarmed... they will likely deflate off an on and shrink down tight to their skeleton. That's totally normal and they will return to their "full" state.
Scolys tend to recede at the edges and will pull off the skeleton as they recede (unfortunately learned this the hard way!)

Are you sure it's actually poking through? It looks OK to me.

Anyhow, direct feed lots of meaty foods and it should bounce back quickly.
