Bubble coral O.K.?

[schneidts]

Hi,
I purchased a bubble coral a week ago today. The coral adjusted nicely, and behaves normally, but yesterday it didn't really inflate. It inflated a little when the actinics came on, but then just stayed that way all day. I thought it was expelling waste. I have also noticed that it has gotten pinker since I've had it. It has inflated more today, but not back to full expansion. Should I be alarmed or is this normal?

It's probably still adjusting to the new tank. My brain did that. I would give it some time and see how it gets.

If you have fed it sometimes it will close up and expel the waste for a couple hours or so. Tomorrow it should be fine.

Yeah, lighting is the big question. We're running 4 x 65w pcs with the bubble pretty high in the tank. Took some time for it to adjust but is doing fine. Every so often it recedes a little to get me worried, but inflates again to "normal" size. Ours likes mysis every once in a while and seems bigger the next day, we just dont feed it daily; only occasionally.

Thanks for your replies, everyone. I will keep an eye on it . I think it will be fine...it's good to be a little paranoid.
