Coral Stretching

[nthanhalan]

Do anyone know why my coral tentacles are all stretch out? Like they holding too much water? The reason asking is because the colors are not variant where the tentacles are short.

An open coral is a happy coral, I don't see what the issue is

It just that it not colorful but more like they are bloated. What can I do to bring the colors out?

Turn up the blues ;Smuggrin Otherwise I think that just keepimg the coral happy for a long time, maybe feeding it something (I heard reef roids are good) will help ti bring iut the best colors over time

Tank looks a bit new. The corals themselves look healthy. They will color up over time as they acclimate to your tank and lighting.

Yeah... My tank is new. Just that I don't want to stress out the coral and die. Because of the appearance, I thought it deteriorating or lacking nutrition.

This is most likely an acclimation response from the tank being new. Try not to make a lot of adjustments for the time being. It's not uncommon for corals to look different from one tank to another but give it time to color up.

Thank everyone for the advices. New to the hobby, so I hates failures.

Hey, I tried what you recommended. Now they look healthy. More solid in texture than all stretch out.

Reef roids are awesome. Target feed them reef roids and you’ll see great improvements
