    Hi, I got a very nice and healthy looking peice of galaxia coral. It was fully opened in the store and i kept an eye on it for a month at the LFS. I bought it and took it home. Its been about a week and it doesnt look fully open like it did in the store. I checked all my perams and they are all fine. PLEASE help.:confused:

    Have you tried a different placement in the tank, Higher, lower, more light less light????
    JMO how close are your params to the LFS? I just try to keep my SG at 1.023 same as LFS
    and everything I have bought has been happy as a fish in water.....

    Sometimes it can take a long time for a coral to get used to a new tank. It took my xenia almost a month before it opened up.
    Did you/how did you acclimate the coral?
