Coral HELP!

[codycummings]

i recently purchased a medium sized colt coral... which has only opened slightly during the day in the last week.. but.. when the lights turn off, it slumps to the right side.. all the way down on the sand. anyone know why? or what i can do?

thanks for any help i can get.

All of mine shrivel up at night. My colts, leather, xenia. That's what they do. With regard to it not opening during the day, give it time to settle in.

mine gets slumpy at night too, as does my xenia, yellow polyp corals, anchor coral, etc.
