Bubble coral deflating

[strendo]

I just picked up a nice piece of Green bubble coral. As soon as I put it in the tank it puffed up and looked great, but now it's completely retracted. Everything else (lps/sps/xenia) is doing great. Should I be woried about it?

No it only need time to adjust from the new water. Give it a day or two and it should be fine.

This coral will do this from time to time (as will all others). They will deflate to almost nothing and in a day they will be big and beautiful once again.

how long have you had your tank up and running? parameters?

[strendo]

its been running about 3 months, but the rock came from my other tank and is 2 yrs old. ph gets kind of low (7.9) because of my heating. Alc is 200, cal 460, am-0, nit-0, phosphate is barely readable.
