very nice

 

That is some very nice corals you got there. Thanks for sharing.

 

Those pics were actually taken a couple days ago, since then I started using some coral supplements to promote growth, its called Reef Vitale DNA. Since I started using it the corals seem to love it, as soon as I put it in the corals really "puff up".
The elegance really seems to like it.

I have never used anything in the tank for corals, the only thing I added before was iodine and then of course feeding with Rods, phyto and rotifers.
I try to target feed the orange coral about 3 times a week, my LFS said they dont grow by light just by food, so I would need to feed it regulary. Seems to be doing ok, I have only had it for about 3 weeks.

 

first coral is a Scolymia, or some poeple call them doughnut corals. and your mushrooms seemed to have purge their zooxanthellea

 

Not quite sure I know what you are talking about on the mushrooms?

 

when a coral is white, their bleaching, or turning white. this means they have expelled their zooxanthellea which they require to live and photosynthesize. And when a coral is stressed, or the proper husbandry is not met this will occur, often resulting in their death. somethings not right in your tank, they should be brown/green tips, or whatever colour they came like, deffinately not white.

 

Mushrooms should not look clear like they do in your pic. if they are clear they released all there zooxanthalia other wise known as bleaching. maybe with good paramiters color will come back.

 

They dont look that white in the tank, its more of like a light neon green.

Is there anything to do for them?
