New Green Bubble Coral Question

[DarthSimon]

Guys,
Just bought a nice piece of green Bubble coral....Was fully inflated at the store.... In my tank now, it's mostly skeleton 3 hours later.... I can see some green bubbles, but looks nothing like the store... Does this take a few days to come back??

here he his...

yeah, i wouldn't worry about it, mine does this every night when the actnics turn off. And opens wide during the day, every day, it should be fine.

5 hours later, looks kinda better. Not fully inflated though.... I'm using a Coralife T5 fixture.. 4 Blue, 4 Yellow.... 54 Watts Each.... I placed this bubble in the lower portion of my tank, in a moderate flow area... Is that correct??

Make sure that it has no direct flow or strong random flow.

looks like some skeleton is showing so feed it as much as you can. They like lower flow as well

This look any better... this is right now... 5 Min ago.... been in tank 18 hours..

Give it some time. Make sure no fish are bothering it.

Tangs love to eat stuff that comes out of their mouths. Since I picked up a tank my bubble has not come out near as much.

I would feed it brine every other day or maybe once a week with a baster.
