Frag Coral dying i think

bigbearcrain · 03/05/2008, 04:51 PM

Frag coral was taken out of negleted tank. I have placed in mine but has continued to die it seems. It is lying almost flat with very little color. So should i remove it or leave it in hopes it will revive?
My water quality is as good as it gets.....

kinda looks like a zenia.

put it down out of the light with a bit less water flow.

did it really stink out of the water (xenia)?

how far up the tank is it, and what lights are over it?
