Cauliflower Coral

[Brian Therien]

I've had this cauliflower coral in my 14 gallon biocube along with many other corals and 4 fish for about a month. Within the past 2 weeks the cauliflower hasn't opened. There is a small frag on the bottom of the rock it came on and that one opens but the main coral hasn't opened. I read something about it sheds like a toadstool every few weeks so I put it in a higher flow area today to see if it will aid in the removal of the skin. I am adding phytoplankton and micro-blast to feed it. I know it is not photosynthetic. Any tips or pointers from anyone with experience will be much appreciated.

Having a mature tank and providing the coral with a steady supply of food is really all you can do with these corals. It sounds easy enough, but unfortunately this is not the case. GL.
