Got this acro frag in earlier this week dipped it with coral revive when it came in. Noticed today that it was getting white spots on it. It’s in an area with higher flow and it is receiving about 250 par while it gets acclimated to the tank. Tank has been set up for about 8 months.
Parameters
Alk 11
Ph 8.4
Cal 425
Mag 1340
Salinity 1.025
Phosphate .04
Nitrate 12
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Any ideas what it could be or what to do to remedy this issues. Or please let me know if I shouldn’t be worried about it I’m pretty new to SPS so not sure what to look for in regards to problems with them.
Thanks in advance.

My new frags also get revive dip but go in the sand bed for a week before to the final resting position. Unless* I know parameters from once they came.

Good luck, it might recover but I think it needs to rest from light for at least a couple days.

Thanks for the advice I will move it down to see if it recovers what par should I start it at in the sand bed? Thanks

My par in the sand is about 100ish

Frags in new systems are easier than colonies but, new water params, new par, new spectrum, ect. I try to give it a break somewhere to get used to the new system.
