Help please - another Zoa post. I brought home my first two Zoa corals on Saturday, I dipped them per the LFS instructions and placed them in my tank. My water parameters are:
Salinity 1.025
PH 7.9
Amonia .1
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 4
Calcium 365
Magnesium1160
KH/GH 6
At first they looked all closed up, not surprised because of the transport, and being dipped. One of them opened up pretty quickly, but the yellow one looks sickly to me. It kind of opens, but doesn‘t look great. All three pictures are of the one in question.
I understand that stability is key. I had moved it once from down low in the tank to about mid level, and it has what I would call a low flow - opposite of the tank from wavemaker (fluval 32.5 tank).
I’m also not sure what to do with light settings, so I have added that screenshot below. I did add some iodine and Koral Color (following manufacturers recommendations) - but have not seen any changes with that.
I am hesitant to just keep moving it around as it sounds like this can cause it more stress. What would you advise I do?
