    hey all sorry if i placed this in the wrong spot ... im new :(...but yer on friday so nearly a week ago i bought a new torch coral and paired clown fish.... well they all seem fine and the fish are doing amazing but when i turn the light of my torch coral seems to shrivel up and it really doesn't look healthy but then in the morning they puff back up and look fine until the light goes of again.. the water parameters a fine and i just dont know why it is doing this or if it is okay a little worried :S

    Normal activity for the coral. It is just fine.

    yep, most corals will do that at night! just make sure your parameters are stable and do 30% water changes at least once or twice a week and you're good! :)

    thanks heaps :).... one other quick question, when i feed the torch coral brine shrimp it sticks to his tentacles and pulls it in...if my clown fish does decide to host and go near it will it hurt my clown?
