Bubble coral help....
I added a bubble coral about a week ago, it was a good size and looked like it was in good condition at the LFS, so far so good, i have fed it brine when its tenticles are out at night etc blah blah. at about 9 ish 30 mins before the lights go out when my acintics are on, it shrivles up and lookes dead? and spews this gooey sh*t out into the water. any ideas?
thanks |

Did it recover? When it takes in meaty foods like brine or mysis, it's gonna excrete the waste eventually. Sounds pretty normal to me. Now, if it doesn't go back to normal, then you may have an issue.
