Tree Coral Gone Limp

[Fishdizzle]

I just bought a tree coral from the lfs and its doing fine but if wont stand up straight? it just keeps leaning over to one side of the other? is this normal or something that i should look into?

how long ago did you buy it?

give it some time to get used to your water.

how long did you aclimate it?

 

[Fishdizzle]

i bought it yesterday day ... i let it tempature actlimate then i did drip alclimate

did it for like 2 hours i left and then came back and put it in

give it some time it has to get used to your tank........ and they are known for being limp like that. it should come back

 

[Fishdizzle]

Give it time. It may take a few days but it'll come around.

 

[russ49merc]

keep it down on the sand to get used to everything and when it starts looking better move it to where you want it.

give enough circulation and light and time.

Try some viagra.

viagra is a good idea or if you rub it a little it might stand up. Actually I have had one in my tank for 5 months now and it just went limp 2 days ago. I have no idea why. I have 3 and this is the only one that is limp. Just switched to MH lighting maybe it will perk up.

I have one that lays down at night but stands up all day. My guess is they really like the light. Mines in a 24g nano right now but is moving to a 75g next week. The new tank has much stronger lighting so maybe it'll stay up longer.
