Purple ribbon gorgonian

[sandyc24pa]

About 5 days ago, I placed a purple ribbon gorgonian in my tank and within a few hours, the polyps were extended. Just yesterday, I noticed no visible polyps, and they haven't been out since.
Is this normal, or a sign that something is wrong, or ...?
Thanks for any info/advice.

could be normal as they do shed, and a change in environment can cause this. Do you have it under good strong flow?

 

[sandyc24pa]

Not quite sure how to answer your question. I am aware that they need good flow, and I believe there is - though I'm not sure how to gauge/measure 'good flow'.

Is it waving in the flow?

 

[sandyc24pa]

Yes, it's waving in the flow.

Should be good to go then. Just let it be a couple of days and see what happens.
