Sick Coral

[Boolay1978]

My coral has not been open for a few days now, levels all good, fish are happy, any ideas?

That looks like a Goniopora to me. They are supposed to be pretty difficult to care for. If they get even the smallest injury the whole thing will likely die.

I think it's a star polyp of some sort. I have goniporas and neither of them look like tfat

 

[Boolay1978]

Yes I think it was a green star polyp but still. It come back out

+1 on the GSP
My green star polyp did that for about two weeks as I tried everything I could to get it to open back up. What worked for me was running carbon for a while and it opened back up in a day or two. From what I've heard they are sensitive to certain chems in the water and the carbon will remove them. Make sure your water is good and post your params. Good luck!

I've had the same happen they hide for a week or 2 then come out fuller than ever
