i got a green star coral about 3 months ago and it was doing great, it was happy and even starting to grow alittle bit, until about a month ago. the only thing i had changed in my tank was that i added a few hermit crabs....and i did notice that the initial reason why my coral closed up was because a hermit crab was crawling on it for about 5 minutes, but it has never opened back up and it has been a month now. nothing is different, i haven't changed anything, i kept moving my coral further and further down in the tank cuz i did hear that they do not like that much light but it has been sitting in the sand now for about a week and still is not opening, though i don't think the light is really doing it becuase it was doing just fine before about half way up my tank......my green star still has its purple base color and it isn't shrinking any so i don't believe it is dying off but now there is a ton of green hair algae growing on it and i tried to pull it off but i don't want to freak it out more or hurt/kill it.
help what do i do?!
