Inhabitants
5 Zebra Hermit Crabs
5 Blue legged hermit crabs
10 Astraea Snails
1 Small Metallic Torch LPS
1 rock containing six small hairy mushroom corals
All inhabitants doing fine, nice Colline Algae growing on the rock, none on the sides of the tank, copopods all over the place, only problem is the Hairy Mushroom Coral.
I have had the Hairy Mushroom Coral for a week now and some of the polyps are still scrunched up, they never opened. Three open and close periodically. One looks like it is falling/peeling off the rock. I though it might be in the wrong spot so I moved it today when I did a water change.
I have included a picture, can anyone tell me what is going on and if I should do anything or just it alone and see how it does?
My Small Metallic Torch LPS looks fine.
