Some coral is as hardy as hardy gets, while others can change and decline on a dime. One requires high flow, while the other needs a gentle aqua-breeze. The corals we keep and care for are so vastly different that it can be challenging to keep them all simultaneously happy. But it's a challenge that most of us take...

If you're having problems keeping your coral happy, post about it in the comments, and maybe someone will jump in and help you figure out the problem!

other: tore down the tank... had to move. @Reefer_kano has my corals until who knows when :downcast-face-with-sweat:

before that, i was struggling with an OG bounce that melted away likely due to bacterial infection or allelopathy. my CSBBTA also took a stroll and walked into my jebao gyre and almost crashed the tank(slight dino outbreak was the only thing that occurred)

Almost everything is doing good. 20 gal tideline AIO and I have found that being new to corals this time around that I seem to have problems with some sps...montipora, acropora, while the leptoseris is doing great, moderate on the cyphastrea so far. All LPS, soft, and mushroom doing great. Someone did say it's probably the size of my tank that could be part of the problem, I'm still learning and researching

Easy stuff only and all had been doing fine for quite a while until:
- My clownfish decided to start biting off my Duncan tentacles about a week ago
- Sinularia had been growing and shading a patch of Ricordea for quite a while but they just recently started to apparently not like that
