I have a bubble coral for 2 months that's not looking very good. My tank has Nova Extreme Pro T5 lighting. At first I had him high in the tank, when he started looking bad I moved down to the sand to see if that helped. It hasn't. There are only bubbles now on the ends a little one in the middle. Everything else looks like it's died off. Please help

A pic like Joe requested would help. Bubble coral does not require strong light. I have a similar problem with my bubble coral. When I first purchased it was very full and open. I believe that I mishandled it from moving it constantly. I now have it on my sandbed and it is slowly puffing back up.

bubble corals r very sensitive when it comes to handling. as stated above, they dont need much light and flow at all.

I have been told with the right conditions they could come back. Mine did the same thing but dropped 3 babies b4 it receeded. I was also told that if there is algae on the skelaton it wont come back.
