Sometimes they just aren’t perfectly healthy to begin with & the alk swing from where it came from to your tank is enough to do it in. I think that is the cause in a lot of cases where they die within a week. It’s Especially a issue for people who run higher alk. That is one of the reasons a lot of sps tanks run a alk between 7 & 8 dkh. It is also a good thing to know what the alk is of the incoming coral. I get most of my sps from my lfs & they run their alk around 8 dkh & I keep mine about 7.5dkh. So there isn’t much of a swing from their tank to mine
