Hi,I just bought 4kg of LR from Reef N Nature at Pasir Ris Farmway 1 cause they closing shop so all their stuffs have offer.I bought three rocks.On my way back i saw red spear like stuff on my rocks.

Then i saw that some of them died on the curing tank and their skeletons are white.Then after i touch it was hard.So is suspect SPS coral.My guess is Staghorn coral babies.

What should i do.Now still thriving in my tank even though my lights are 4 T5 lighting.At the curing tank there is no lights.A lot are still living.I placed it in a high flow area of my tank since it needs high flow.If they managed to survive in the curing tank i guess they will survive in my tank.Help me!!!!Nvr took care of SPS or LPS be4.
