Bubble coral

[Gavin]

It's currently in a shaded area of course, I am trying to acclimate this guy to my lights. My question is should its mouth remain exposed like this ? I have seen other bubble corals where you can barely tell it has a mouth because of the bubbles it has . Does anyone have experience with these corals any input would be appreciated.

I think it looks OK.
I see the mouths on the ones in my work tank sometimes. Sometimes it even looks droopy.

It looks fine, and it's very common to have the mouth exposed like that. I think because it's not getting a lot of light it's looking to feed right now.

I'll move it over another inch or two to expose half the body to more light. What should I feed this guy? I feed mysis in my tank and leave my pumps on low so everything eats but if I have to target feed him I'll take extra steps to make sure he is being fed well.

Try and first target feeding with mysis then maybe small pieces of shrimp or fish. It will do well without feeding too. You want to make sure that it has room as they do get large and put out stringers that will kill other corals.

I have two and I have never feed them. Ones under the direct light and the other is in indirect light. With them flow is important so keep an eye on flow if they don?t open
