I added this rose gold hammer frag to my tank approximately 10 days ago. Judging by the algae line, the tissue continues to recede on the skeleton. Is this normal? Should I expect that in a few more weeks the tissue will begin to expand again?
For context, I am using the Red Sea coral pro salt. Water parameters are as follows:
Nitrate - 10 mg/L
Phos - 30 ppm
Alk - 11.5 dKh
Salinity - 1.024
Lighting schedule:
I have been hesitant to glue the frag to a rock until the tissue started to recover. But I’m wondering if the frag needs to be even further down, closer to the sand bed. It is currently in the corner of the tank on the frag rack, where it receives modest light and flow.
