I’ve had this coral in my tank now for about 3 weeks. It was doing so well in the beginning, stretching out every morning, but now it’s closed up and doesnt want to come out. I actually wasn’t feeding it then one day I did feed it and that’s when it hasn’t opened up since. I had a goni way back when I first started getting coral. It didn’t last long, maybe a week, but it was also from pet co and every coral I get from pet co dies within a week (it was cheap and I said why not haha) so I didn’t know if it was my tank or the coral. I’ve seen all over the internet how poeple cant keep these corals for the life of them. I don’t know if they just don’t do well in my tanks or I’m doing something wrong. All of my other corals are doing amazingly, fish are perfectly healthy. I’m doing tests right now so I’ll post my levels in a minute.
