Receding Bubble Coral

jd62572 · 01/19/2007, 08:21 PM

Hello fellow reefers.

I have a bubble coral that has receded and died in the middle, to the point where its skelton is exposed. All water parameters are inline. Is there any action I can take to have the coral cover its skelton again with bubbles.

The remainder of the coral look great always opening up.

Thank you,
Joseph

You might get it to grow big enough to cover the dead area, but it will take a bit of time. Feed it small chunks of frozen krill three or 4 times a week. Mine loves it.

yeah I've had them go downhill, brought them back by feeding mysis shrimp, cyclopese. They love it and will grow very fat with direct feedings
