Transferring mushroom corals

[Allan]

I had an emergency in my nano tank whereas I had to put my mushroom coral into my new(3weeks old)reef tank quickly. What are the chances of the mushroom surviving?,it has already put out its little furry tentacles-not sure what the term for these is it looks like A hair brush again,how can I tell if it dies?.you can tell I'm new to this so excuse my lack of terminology.I had to take a chance as I had no where else to put it. Any advice would be great thanks

Assuming the proper lighting is in order, you are fine. Mushrooms are one of the more hardy corals. Now if you told me you had a goniopora...

Thanks,It looks quite deflated so let's hope for the best.Its been in about 24 hours now.

Question - is your tank cloudy? Did it get cloudy after the cycle? If not, this is why I tell people to wait two weeks after they **think** the cycle ends before adding any hardy corals.

No clear as a bell there are also some little polyps growing on the live rock that is why I thought it would be fine.After a rapid deflation,said coral has blown itself back up again and is looking not too bad now.
