Default I got my first coral
Right now it is being acclimated but I just got my first coral. I forgot what it is called but I think it is a polyp. The rock actually has two different types of the coral on it. They are all closed right now which is normal right? I will have pictures up tomorrow of my entire tank

Should be fairly normal during acclimation. How 'bout some pictures a little sooner though. You don't want to piss off luna.

Yes it definitely will. I was also going to get a small coral (Im so bad with names) but it was attached to a plastic shelf in the tank and the guy at the store couldnt get it off without damaging it
