help with a pagoda cup

Not sure what others oppinions are on this, but not sure if pc lighting is enough. Even if your LPS had it under PC's, how long have they had it there, you dont know what their water params were. How big is your tank, where was it in there tank. Even under pc lighting, depending on your tank size, and their tank size and the number of pc they have can differ between the two. I'm sure all will work out and prob just needs some more time, but just a few things to think about.

Ya, check this PIC out. It is the same one from my previous PIC. I was a newbie and knew nothing.

Why would they do that? Same theory as dyeing bunnies at easter? Fake you out to think it is a unusual color? How can you avoid this? Does it hurt the coral (like it does with the bunnies)?

Here is mine pagoda...
As stated above, i believe they do like strong lights and medium flow....

Good Luck with yours....

well came home and again not open, heres a couple of new pics of it. thanks for all the comment/responses. this is day 3 with the darn thing.well it kinda looks like maybe the yellow polyps are starting to get to the top of the (creaters) the lil holes. so maybe it will be ok

Be patient it could be over a week or two.

thx to all, but the corals toast, like michaeltx said it was reciding and now is sliming so its in qt to see if it will make it.

 

[puffer32]

Mine slimes if it gets knocked over, but is fine in afew hrs. They do not like to be moved. Now it needs to adjust to another tank

 

[michaeltx]

yeah I would have just left it where it was. I dont ever move corals from tank to tank for a QT reason unless there is a bacterial infection that could spread or other problem that the coral needs to isolated. In general even if a coral is dying it will not effect the water chemistry because it will slowly dieoff little at a time. exceptions are corals like anemones they can really polute the tank. EVERYTHING else I leave in place and let nature take its course.

O yeah in your last picture you can see the polyps coming out of the holes. they also do like leathers and sloth a waxy coat to clean themselves.
