This is my pipe organ, which i have had to about 6 months. is it common for corals like this to go several days without opening up. all of my basic parameters seem fine and all of my other corals are acting happy.thanks for any feedback

I just had 2 brain corals stay closed for over 2 weeks before they fluffed up again. Cause: cyano

My Duncan corals also like to close on occasion. I frag it when it grows heads and the new heads after healed will close up as soon as they get sold. After about a week they open with new growths beginning on their stalk.

Not completely sure on the pipe organ but it could just be a growth phase? Could also be something irritating it. Give it a few more days maybe
