Got this specimen a few weeks ago from Stan. Opened it up very nicely when placed into my system. Has taken meaty foods from me on several occasions. Two days ago, it started retracting and is now partially closed and refuses to extend. I keep it in moderate flow right on sand bed partially shaded. I know these are difficult to keep and am worried that the condition may worsen. Need suggestions from people with experience with this species.
Params:
temp 77-80
pH 8.3 - 8.5
dKH 8
no detectable ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate
CA 410 ppm
SG 1.026
Tank is fed twice a night with cyclopeeze. Current system houses LPS/SPS....one softie I forgot to remove from LR. Few non photosynthetics (sponge, gorgo). No one nearby that would irritate this coral.
