New Bubble Coral in Trouble

[DarthSimon]

Hey guys,
I purchased what appeared to be a healthy medium to large size bubble coral. It was fully inflated at the LFS... The owner took it out of the tank in full blown up size... Wasn't sure if that was such a geat idea...

I have him on the sand. Lighting is LED... Have 3 108 Watt Fixtures on my 220....

Here is a video... This has been 2 days now... Barely any extension or inflation:

I tied feeding the Coral some Cyclopeze and Mysid tonight....

Any thoughts? It looked to release some slime after the food.. Video was shot right after feeding with lights out for about 3 hours...


Thx in Advance,
Steve

way to much flow on that bubble. I have had one for over 10 years. :headwalls: less flow the better. My 2 cents.

Did your bubble come around? I have one that is struggling and am curious.

Low flow!

I had the same problem. Turned my fans of over night fed brine shrimp in tank. Majic! in the morning bubble was opened almost all the way.
