Hi,

I will like to know what is wrong with my Heliofungia Actiniformis, has anyone had this problem and will it improve or what can I do?
nutrients are undetectable and current is moderate.

The tentacles seems to have been retracted and I have seen some around the tank.
I am feeding him enriched mysis, etc soaked in Selcon, which he is eating.

it is similar to this thread

Reduce the flow for him. Mine seems to do that when its getting pounded by current.

The flow is moderate and no direct current.
It was fine for a month before it started looking like this.

MIne did that right before it got a bad brown jelly infection that killed it. Keep a real close eye on it and have some iodine handy.

A little O.T. but i wish books would stop telling people that long tentacles plates are a eazy coral to keep
