Why does these Orpheensis seem harder to take care than other chalice corals?Is it the lighting factor that comes into play here?It's under T5 lights now.But just not happy at all.There is some recession that has taken place.It was in a nano tank,where the lighting wasn't really intense.It didn't do well in there either.So it went to T'5 system and still a slow dieing off process is still be done.When it arrived it had a coral dip.Was wondering what others might have done.Not a lot of info on this type of coral.Just trying to find out what combo works for this type of coral?
 
Yea,this is what I don't get.It's in a system now where there are other frags and colonies.And all these other chalices are doing fine.I could give it another coral dip,but being under stress I backed off.Just wonder if others might have had the same problem?But like I mentioned above are supposed to br harder to keep.If that's the case,what are their needs?Just trying to find some input here?Could it be lighting and flow issues?If this is the case, what is needed here?This is the only thing I can come with.Until others chime in here.
Thanks guys
