Elegance coral care assistance
I got an elegance coral from a fellow reef. great guy
but im not too familiar with what's best for their survival. i know these are real hard to keep in the past few years and they are very temperamental. that being said, i received it yesterday and it was closed in the container. acclimated and turned the lights on today and still closed all day. I actually placed it on the sand because i read that low light might be better than intense light.
My tank water parameters: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5-10, pH 8.2, SG 1.026, temp- around 80-82
Lights: red sea max stock, 2 "T5" 55w bulbs
Not sure if i need to move it someplace else, feed it or what, any assistance appreciated.
Only been 1 day but even if it does open soon i want to know how to take care of it. Also, placed in low flow area, low and center. no powerhead at this point only 2 return pumps.
