Well my first coral (green star polyps) died I think. The day before
yesterday they were opened and looking great, but yesterday they were
only half open, and then today they were all retracted and wouldn't open.
I took my water to the LFS yesterday to have it checked. (I have a test
kit at home, but don't have a refractometer) Well they said my salinity
was a little high at 1.026. They keep theirs at 1.024. ph was 8.2
ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate were all 0. alkalinity was 240ppm.

My temp was a little higher than normal at 82F and the salinity had went
up a bit. (My RO unit broke and I'm looking into replacements) but other
than that, I think that was the only changes.

When the polyps wouldn't open today, I did put it in a little bit better
spot with more flow, and more light. However this afternoon there was
still nothing opened.

Is there anything I can do? Or did this coral die on me that fast?
