Favite Brain coral

[Emily]

Favite brain coral has been in tank for a week now,have not seen him open his tentacles. I even check at night, what gives?

Can we get a picture? This may help us see why...
Also, what are your parameters and what kind of lights do you have? What lights was he under when you bought him?

 

[Emily]

I'm still learning how to post pics on here here he is, I have an AI hydra 52. I don't know what he was under before, I had him shipped from live aquaria?

Try introducing some frozen food to the tank at night and see if that warrants a feeding response.

 

[Emily]

I have tried mysis and brine. my parameters are good, everything is stable.

 

[Emily]

I have noticed my 2 percula clowns never leave it alone!

Well it's not going to show feeding tentacles if the clowns are residing in the coral. Perhaps move the coral to a different location in the tank.

 

[Emily]

I will try that, thank you

And turn off any power heads and wait a few minutes...a lot of times they prefer slow or no water movement to really throw out their feeding tentacles...then feed the frozen with a baster...

thanks every body, I'll let you know how it goes
