Yesterday my friend gave me a devils hand coral. There was a white mark across the middle where it had been held with an elastic band but other than that no other marks. Today it has a couple of white patches on it and I noticed some amphidods/copepods on the white patch. I have it on the sand near two rocks.
Do I need to take it out of the tank or just keep an eye on it?. I didn’t get the coral until late afternoon and my lights are only on from 9am to 7pm so it can’t be bleached already.
