Alveopora drastic change

[cleverrev]

This Alveopora has been doing fantastic. Every day the polyps would extend 3-4” and the coral seemed super happy.

I did a water change and for the past two days it has looked drastically different. All other corals look great. Don’t want to overreact but should I be concerned?

They will sometimes do that just for whatever reason. Right now I have two that are not happy and not doing great while another one has risen from the dead. Go figure...

Thanks for the response! I was getting worried that no one would comment. Glad to hear that you had one bounce back. Hoping mine does as well.

As long as the polyps are open, I would not worry about it not "stretching".

Just wanted to close the loop here, the coral is a goner. It went from the best looking coral in my tank, as seen in the first picture above, to an empty skeleton in about 4 days. All other corals are fine and unchanged. Yikes. Will stay away from these until I’m more seasoned. Thanks for the input anyhow.

Can I put several different color Alveoporas next to each other?
