blasto not looking too good? help!

[zach jay]

i've had a blasto under some pcs for a while. recently, i've switched to a 70watt viper mh lighting scheme over my 10 gallon. all my other corals are doing really well, but just today the blasto shrunk very small. my rics are open, candycanes open, hammer good, zoas good, but today the blasto doesn't look so good. its sitting in the substrate on a plug. should i try to find it some shade? or is there anything i can do? i feed all my corals/goby mysis shrimp every day.

They like low light, low flow. Perhaps too much light is the problem. Any possibility of it being stung?

i'm not sure. nothing is close enough to actually touch it. unless the crabs were just playing around haha. should i move it into the direct shade under an overhang? or just try to move it to the far side of the tank away from the light and powerhead?

and now that its shrivled, i can see two more heads that were starting to grow. i really hope it makes it so it can grow more.

do you have a pic of it?

shade it for a few days and it should open up if it is healthy.

Dipping in Revive can't hurt it.
