Acclimating corals??

[Gietz]

I'm fully aware that u need to acclimate corals, but I just bought a some rock for my LFS put it in the tank and what do u know a piece of frodspawn was on the bottom of it along with a bunch of mushroom!!  I'm pretty excited I got thus stuff for free lol. But the problem is I'm not prepared for corals as I didn't plan on keeping any until I get situated with fish.  The mushroom seem to be fine about 3/4 open. But the frogspawn completely closed.  If everything ok with the frogspawn, what should I do lol

if your gonna keep it i would sit back and wait

if its already in your tank..kinda too late to try acclimating it. kinda gotta wait and see what happens

Pretty sure that there are no poisons that you have to worry about like some corals when they die off. But putting this out there for additional feedback. Personally, I would just ride it out, keep it lit and see what happens. If it dies off, then nothing really lost. If it comes back, I am sure that someone here will be happy to take it off your hands

Well my parameters seem fine so I think it should turn around, and my fish store gave me 35 gallons to start off so there is water similarity.  Is it normal for corals to close up when u put them in?  And my mushrooms should be fine right?

Mushrooms are pretty hardy, even I can grow them. LoL. As for Frogspawn, they are pretty hardy in my experience, they should turn around pending your water does not cycle.

Both corals are pretty hardy you should be fine give them some time and they should start to open up.

Just an update, the 3 mushrooms opened up and I looks like I have a couple of heads of Texas trash as well. But the frogspawn isn't opening, I'm actually not sure if it's that or hammer lol but either way it's not open

It can take a few days for a coral to open so don't worry to much.

When my tank was crashing my frog spawn was doing great / now that levels are getting better he is not doing so great, while everything else is doing better. I am going to give it to my brother for a bit and see what happens

 

[Gietz]

Still nothing lol, I hope this little guy opens up soon!!

 

[Gietz]

So my little hammer didn't open yet, so I'm just wondering did it die??

The best advice is to just donate it to the first other Windsorite to post in this thread.

Maybe move it around - medium flow, lowish light to start, maybe blast it with a little food???

 

[Gietz]

Thx I'll try that and see what happens, and I'll donate u the skeleton if it doesn't make it lmao
