Has anyone got this beauty to open? ?

[AlexDm]

Hi, I have this Red Yellow Eye Goniopora in my tank for a week now and still haven't managed to get it open completely ... Any tips ? or if anyone has got one to open how long it took them?

And dont Like much light
More actinic and low white

I keep my goni low in tank and pristine water and feed often. They do not like too much light. I have high nutrient export and feed all the time. Not sure if that is why mine has been happy from day one.
Of course need calcium, mag and alk within optimal range, sp. gr. at 1.025-26 and my temp is right at 80. hope that helps.

Yeah I know this species doesn't open as much but at the store it was opened a lot more... It just opened this much today.... it was almost completely shut for the past week so it lost a little color

Solution of live phyto mix ed with zooplancton just a few
Shutoff powerhead
With a turkey spread around it . 2 for a week 5ml of phyto mixed with few grain of zooplank.
But first of all place where few light more actinic
They Also like when you move slowly sand near it

So you think where mine is located is too much light ? Are you suggesting to put in the sand ?

Place on aPlate rock over the sand
Not directly on the sand cause polyps near it will die
