After soaking in osmosis (4 minutes), about 10 corals were placed in the aquarium. The 2 largest ones (Caulastrea and Sarcophyton) seem to have suffered more than the others from my procedures. The previous owner had planarians in the aquarium, and we decided to secure my tank in this way. Can you tell me if they will survive? The Sarcophyton seems to be doing well, but its foot is weakened and resting on the sand, while I'm worried about the Caulastrea... It has shed part of its "coating." Photos are attached. Thank you all!

Sark must survive, while caluastreya has a 50/50 chance. My advice is to buy a floating acrylic quarantine tank and keep the livestock in it before placing them in the aquarium. This quarantine tank has very narrow slits for water, so planaria and other "creatures" shouldn't be able to get through.
