Polyp Extension On Wild Pieces

[outofthewater]

So I grabbed some wild Aussie sps pieces and the colours in them Are great still just not very much polyp extension on one of the pieces the other ones are happy as can be. Parameters are all good just wondering what your guys experience with wild pieces and pe
It's also only been a week

A week isn't very long. They will still be acclimating to lighting changes at that point, and with wild pieces, they may never adjust to captive lighting and simply fizzle out. That is the gamble you take with wild SPS though, definitely not going to be a 100% success rate. Your colours may not hold, they may die, or they may look fantastic and actually improve their colour, regardless of how great your husbandry practices are.

BTW, pics?

always will be....ask poseidon he uses gel screens and seem too work ok.... what do you feed your corals the smaller the particles the better for sps i use reef roids and their polyp extension and had good success even with my wild caught acro's

They actually have good pe now that I moved them higher in the tank I don't feed my tank anything just fish poop and when I add mysis I pour it all in without straining it

Your system is still young at age, might be a good idea to feed your coral until until it mature a little
