I set my tank up a week ago, partly by transferring all of my old tank (25 gallon) into the 100 gallon tank (I will set up a tank journal eventually), but also added 30kg of cured live rock from the LFS to supplement the 20kg I had in the old tank.
Anyway, moving forward a week. while I was lost staring at the tank tonight, I noticed what liked like polyps in an area that had looked like dead skeleton last week (its a piece of cured rock from the LFS that had been in a large tank with very little light for a few months) on one of the bits I got from the LFS.
Anyway, can anyone shed some light (no pun intended) on what it is, as this piece of rock has a lot of it, and what I should be doing to try and resurrect it if it is at all likely that I can resurrect it.
In the photo you can see the polyps in the right hand side of the angled rock. This piece of rock has a few sections of this size with the polyps appearing tonight.
If it helps my water as of tonight reads;
Salinity: 1.025
Ph: 8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 0.5
Carbonate Hardness: 90kH (started the process of slowly raising it)
Phosphates: 0
Calcium: 400 (also raising this as it has dropped from 450 in the last few days)
The coral is about 300mm deep under a set of Illumagic Blaze LED's.
