My corals arent opening

[Jazeel55]

I don't know if it's the new addition of green finger leather or algaefix I add to my tank to deal with hair algae but half my corals are opening. My Duncan acon's and brain and an SPS. MY clams and other leather Kenya candy cane and stuff and looking great. I did a 50 gallon water change and ran carbon I have a 210. Can anyone help me!!!!!!

I would test all parameters since you've used the algae fix would also be helpful if you knew what they were before the algae fix. If your parameters are good I would just leave it alone for a bit, sometimes less is more. Keep an eye on everything obviously but they may just be a bit stressed from the addition of the algae fix. If you have a magnesium test kit se where that is also.

I did test this morning all levels are good. So I was going to do another 50 gallon water change

Does the bottle say "dont use with shrimp, snails, etc.." bcuz I wouldnt use anything that harms those guys after I got wiped out by a copper leaching substrate once.

It said safe with all corals

It happened to me with Algaefix as well. All corals as far as I remember were very stressed. I suppose your test will show everything is in range. I would do a few water changes within next couple of days.
If your tank is 210, manual removal of hair algae is difficult. I would not use any chemicals to fight it in the near future so the only option I see is 3 days without light.

So did my clown Tang.... Change that water and use a stick with a small ribbon at the end to make sure you've got flow throughout your tank.
