Ricordia shrunk?

[sean112280]

The ricordia I have has shrunk to about 1/3 of the size it was when I got it. What could cause that? how do I make it get bigger again?

I have had that happen to me. Never figured out why!
Feeding may help. There could be something lacking in your water so I would kick up the water changes.
What are your water parameters?
What do you have for lighting?

I will pick up the PWC's. As far as lighting I have 2x 250W MH 14k's. My params I have to get updated ones. I test on Sunday's

Ricordia's can be tricky . Like any new coral you might need to try differant placement areas with more or less flow or lower to mid depth.

Also good water readings and tanks 1 year old minimum. But with little to no tank info its hard to say.

It's not new to the tank. The tank is over 2yrs old. I guess i will try different placement. Right now it is on a frag rack in the upper right of my tank. pretty much right under the MH's. I will post new params as soon as I can.

They do not need a lot of light . Try on the bottom with low flow.
