Candy Cane/ Trumpet Coral

[DewaynelovesAbby]

I have a trumpet or candy cane coral with about 20 separate heads on it. It has been in my tank for a few weeks, but has not yet bubbled out. All of the heads are fluorescent green, but won't come out. Any suggestions as to what they might need? It is toward the top of the tank. It is a 150 gallon 48" x 30" tank with T5 lighting. Everything else does great. Thanks.

Have you looked at it when the lights go out?

I had the same problem when I 1st got mine from Gilbert. I had them toward the bottom of the tank near a power head.Then I moved my rock with 4heads higher toward the top, and away from the Koralia3 power head and they opened up nicely. I started dosing with B-ionic last week sunday and 3 of those 4heads already splitted into 2 each.
So you might want to move them to a not to strong water flow, and see if that makes any difference. if it doesn't work just let me have them

I agree with papijames, try moving it to an area of lower water flow, it might make quite the difference.

how much lighting should LPS be in (ex. low, moderate, high, indirect).

[envy]

lighting moderate. waterflow medium
