    Fro some reason, my wellso brain is not opening. I have had him for about 2 months now and has been doing fine until i moved him to the left about 3 inches for more sand room(This guy is at least 6" fully expanded). My water is testing fine and everything else is doing great and growing,i have softies,sps,lps..loads of coral in there..What could be bothering this guy?

    Did you touch his tissue when you moved him? If so that could be the cause of the aggravation. I accidentally touched mine when moving it and it was annoyed for a few days and then snapped out of it. Just give it some more time.

    +1. Could also be adjusting to lighting if it's higher than where it was moved from.

    Turn off all the powerheads and your return pump. Generouslly turkey bast mysis all over the wellso, so that it just sits one top of the wellso's tissue. Wait to see what happens, give it an hour. If it doesn't respond, something may be wrong.

    Is it in more or less flow? That may play a factor.

    Its in about medium flow..

    Although ive had it in these condition for the entire time and it was opening up everyday just fine. I found that my alk was slightly low, but i fixed that yesterday, its good now. everything else is fine. ill just give it some time since i did touch the tissue a few times when moving it.

    I have found these corals to be very sensitive to low alkalinity levels so hopefully it will respond. Good luck.:)
