I have a four month old tank with a couple of clowns, lawnmower blenny and a tomini tang. I wanted to take a shot at putting in my first corals so I grabbed a piece of GSP and a Kenya tree leather frag from my LFS about 5 days ago. The gsp is looking happy. The leather, not so much. It looked ok for a couple of days but it’s now looking very shrivelled up and has been turning dark brown in the middle. I figured both these corals would be newb proof but I guess not! Any ideas what might cause a leather coral to wither away and turn brown like that? My parameters are
Salinity 1.26
Nitrite and ammonia 0
Nitrate 10ppm
PO4 0
Mg 1170
Ca 360
KH 7
pH 8.2
is my tank just too young to support corals yet?
