bubble coral

[reeflooker]

Ive had a bubble for about 4 months. Its surviving but does not seem happy. Do they like high light or low light? High current or low current? What about feeding.
Thanks - Reeflooker

What kind of lights do you have? I had mine in about the middle of the tank with medium current. I also feed mine frozen shrimp or scallop about 2-3 times a week.

440watts vho on 90 gal.

reeflooker...with 440 watts of VHO over your 90 you could probably keep a bubble healthy. Might be a bit on the low side as far as lighting for LPS corals. But with good filtration/circulation and a stable/mature system a bubble should do well. I'd suggest mid to high on the reef and a moderate current(mine doesn't like a direct current)...opens much better in a moderate/indirect current. Mines always liked regular feasts of meaty type foods(mysis/squid/silversides/krill/shrimp). Other than all the above keep it in a healthy system and it should do well.
