[alimon]

It was open for a day very nice, but now is closed.
I was told to feed it, but where do I place the food?. I do not see a mouth

 

[vi3tb0i]

I dont think bubble have mouth i think they feed off of lights idk i might be wrong hope a pro would tell you

Bubbles have mouths!! They have sweeper tentacles that they catch food in. But anyway, how long have u had it? How much light do u have? How is your water quality? They prefer moderate to high water movement.

They feed at night, with their sweeper tentacles and they withdraw them and eat.

ah! By the way, that bubble looks like it hasn't done well in a while...how did it look at the LFS?

 

[vi3tb0i]

o adam you know he is talking about a BUBBLE CORAL RITE?

 

[alimon]

and it was fine for a day, but now she is sad.
Water levels, temperature and light are OK. I know they need moderate flow, what about light? I have it in the middle of the tank, under 2x 250w 10000 MH and 4x28w actinic

 

[vi3tb0i]

[alimon]

Was it under halides at the LFS? If it wasn't, you may have burnt it...if so, place it at the bottom until it heals and fully opens, then move to its desired location.

 

[alimon]

It was not under MH. I will put it in the bottom. Should be in the shade or only in the bottom.
Thanks

 

[vi3tb0i]

take pics of how it looks like now

 

[alimon]

1- Bubble today on sand under partial shade, does not look good
2- Tank shot
3- Some plumbing

 

[pitbull01]

It will take some time-you burnt him. He'll heal given good water conditions. Just keep him on the bottom until he FULLY opens-then move him to wherever u want him.

 

[pitbull01]

Your tank looks very nice!
