How to keep trumpet coral

[Koddie Doo]

I have never had good luck with these. Decided to get a frag of the kryptonite and they are not swelling up and have not seen their feeders. Had them about a week. Any ideas?

Ok it has been like 6 min and no help.....

I think I have them to high in the tank and too much flow. Think they need to acclimate to the leds. So now they are on the sand bed. We will see. Let me know if you think of anything else.

What's your water parameters? The few I've kept I had better luck with lower flow and cleaner water

Params are in check. Been dosing Alk that has been a bit low, but everything else is stable. I think that lower may help.

I keep mine lower in the tank in an area of lower flow. I also try spot feed them individually with Mysis shrimp on occasion.

I moved mine all over for about 6 months, and then one day it fell to the sand bed. It loves it there and has grown from 3 heads to 50 or 60.

They do good with low light, fast growers with low nutrients, but will survive in dirty water.

You can sing to them. But don't touch them ever. They are real nomads. They grow the best when you forget they are there on the sand floor. Make sure nothing ever touches them, ever. They are the weakest and will lose in coral chemical warfare.
