New Green Bubble Coral???

[darthsimon]

Guys,
Just bought a nice piece of green Bubble coral....Was fully inflated at the store.... In my tank now, it's mostly skeleton 3 hours later.... I can see some green bubbles, but looks nothing like the store... Does this take a few days to come back??
here he his...

What are your parameters? I once had a bubble as well. It looked great for the first month or too, but then started to decline and ended up looking a lot like your picture. I think it was my higher nitrates that the bubble didn't like.
How did you acclimate him and what is your lighting as well....

they dont like that much current, so if hes in high current i would move him out of it. also, what are your lights?

Its also likely that he just will take a few days to inflate. Check nitrate levels and flow, and just watch him.

My bubble took about 2 days before it fully inflated again, but it looks great now. Here's a pic of him shortly after I turned the lights on.

Not to worry, it will inflate. Also, congrats! You just bought a beautiful but almost indestructable coral.
