Hello,
I have two tanks at the moment. A 75 and a 20 nano. I recently bought some P.R. Ricordea and no matter what I do it will not open. I have only had it for a week and a half in the 20. I have LED lights and all the perimeters of the water is fine. I have moved it a couple times thinking to much light with no luck. This tank has only been set up a couple months but I have xenia putting on babys and zoas adding polyps and other mushrooms that looks great. The ricordea is not completely closed just only open about 1/6 of the way. Its on the bottom now and kind of shaded. Should I just give it more time. I have had ricordea in a 20 long years ago with LED lights and it did wonderful. I have never seen ricordea do this before. Only a couple perculas in there so no picking on them. Please help. Im lost. This beautiful orange ricordea was not cheap but the money means nothing. I want it to be awesome and grow and live forever. Thank you.
 
I'd give em some time to adjust to your tank. By moving him around so much, ya kinda make em angry sometimes. Your lighting may be doing it to him, depends on what type of lights he came from.
