Shrinking Colt Coral

[nogascans]

I have acolt coral that has been in tank for about 5 weeks. been doing fine, and usually under lights it extends and gets much larger. Recently, my sebae anemone decided to move to a spot next to the colt. Now the colt doesn't seem to extend like it used to. To add some background, I had a frogspan next to it on a frag pug, and I could see where the colt was getting burned by the frogspan, so i moved the frogspan, which eliminated that issue. Also, having an iongoing issue with a few sps (monti green, sunset) that is discussed in sps thread.
I would appreciate any input.

Sincerely,

David

i think it might just got stung and now it sheding off a layer of its flesh to re cooperate. might take awhile, trying blowing it with turkey baster to speed up process.

So I should just leave it where it is. No reason to consider moving it away from the sebae anemone?

In case anyone else runs into a similar issue, on a lurch, I moved the colt to other side of tank away from sebae anemone. Low and behold it has already perked up, as well as anemone. Both seem a whole lot better. Maybe some allopathy was going on there.
