coral help

[stephenray75]

Okay a guy just up and gave me some corals. I got two stalks of xenia, i rock with a branching hammer (got 3 head) and a few pieces of green star polyps. All are doing great but 1 stalk of xenia. its not standing like the other an pulsing. The star polyps look good but they havent yet come out fully. only a few have came out. What do I need to add to the tank as far as food. I have stronium and moylo- somthing.

thanks

If they've been in there less than two weeks or so just relax and let them adapt. Sometimes it takes a while for corals to recover from being moved.

I wouldn't feed any of those species anything- they can get all they need from particles already in your water. They will take food- tiny bits of mysis or whatever else you are feeding, but you don't need to feed them specifically. Be careful not to overfeed if you do decide to target feed.

I do not add anything I am not testing for.
