I got all three of these 3days ago. I have seen what I think is a steady down hill turn for all three of them. Can anyone help or give me some insite. The last pic is right after I put them in the tank after 3 hours of acclamation. The 1st 4 pix were taken 10min ago. All water parameters are good. Temp is at 79. Salinity was a tad high 2 days ago .029 but back to .025
I have nova extreme pro lights. 6hour cycle. Thinking about cutting that back. would that help?
Any help would be great

JMO but it would help to post your actual test parameters. Ph, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium. Also the age of your tank. Filtration. What kind of flow is there in the tank.
Also I think our photoperiod is too short, should be 8 - 10 hours.

I have placed corals in my tank that looks like crap for a few weeks before blooming real nice. IMO it could be that they just need some more time to get use to your tank if everything is within spec
