    I bought a candy cane coral on Saturday and put it in my tank. I glued it to some live rock so it would be secured. It is now Tuesday and it has still not opened. Has anyone else had this happed? And how long until it will open?

    As stated below, give it a little more time. Also, where did you place the coral and what lights do you have?

    Keep it in a low/medium flow area and it should do fine once it's adjusted to your tank.
