We have had this frag since 9/28/18. I have slowly raised the lights. Our parameters are Ca 375, DKH 9.8 and Mag is 1320. Use Red Sea Coral Pro Salt and dose Red Sea Nutrition alA and B. Ordered Reef Foundation as well. Feed Reef Roids,Fuel and Rod’s.
Flow is moderate. i have moved him a couple of times before this spot. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sorry
 
Mine open a lot (like half dollar size) in lower lighting and tend to show slightly more vibrant colors. If I crank the lights up too high, their polyps recede (this happens with 2 seperate species of Caulastrea)

Thanks for the info,may turn mine back down.
 
yeah try it for a few days (permitting they don't go into shock) and see if it helps with the polyp extension

The lights just went off, I see it’s tentacles coming out and good green around the base.

Feed it. Those tentacles are designed for a reason. I feed each polyp a single piece of mysis twice weekly and they love it
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
