Stop moving it. I would keep it where it is and give it gental flow from each side of it. Then this evening before the lights go out, turn your pumps off and give it some coral food. You don't need to feed it often but at least let it know food is available.I got this starry eyed goni about a 2 weeks ago and I cannot get it to extend its polyps. It's open but not extended. I've put it in a variety of flow and lights and I have no luck with it
I've left it in spots for around 3-5 days but it wont extend. I'll leave it where it's at now. Also I have feed it reef roids but I'm not sure if it's taking in the food. It's hard to tell when its closed like that.
It can take a week or two for it to settle in. How old is the tank overall?
Tank is about at 2 month mark. It is a fluval 13.5 so nitrates are at 0 and phosphates are undetectable on api test kit but I'm thinking there are little phosphates just very low, and I have an ai prime
Right on. I would take it much slower than you are. I wish that adding dry rock and bottled bacteria is all this tank needs but I would be lying to you. This tank has another year or so to mature though not fully mature. If you haven't done so already I would start adding copepods, amphipods, and plankton to the system. For now, I wouldn't purchase anymore coral till that goni starts thriving. Use it as an indication.
Thank you for the advice! I have plenty of other corals such as montipora, acans, and blasted which are doing well
