I have purchased a medium frag of neon green clove polyps from a local marine store. I was told by the owner that it will slowly open in tank after min 3 days of acclimatization. However, I notice it it started to rotten on 4th day. My water parameters is pH (8.2) , KH (9), ammonia (0.25 ppm), nitrite (0.25ppm) and nitrate (160ppm). I am trying my best to reduce nitrate.
Is it because high nitrate resulted it is dying? Welcome anyone share their photo of blooming clove polyps.
