What coral is it?So it’s been a full 24 hours and this coral still hasn’t opened up. 2 other corals I bought yesterday did but this one seems to be struggling.
Any recommendations?

No idea lol can’t rememberWhat coral is it?
That looks like a chalice possibly and they do not open up for what it’s worthNo idea lol can’t remember
In the store it seemed to be more wide and not so shriveled upThat looks like a chalice possibly and they do not open up for what it’s worth
Yes, now that I can imagine it being a little more puffy and slightly larger at the store it is obviously due to the change in parameters. Hopefully it adjusts to yours and becomes happier.In the store it seemed to be more wide and not so shriveled up
Snails and crabs have been all over it recently and just now decided to leave it alone. So that may of had some part in itYes, now that I can imagine it being a little more puffy and slightly larger at the store it is obviously due to the change in parameters.

What’s the secret I’m new to thusChalices are my favorite Coral’s, but it took me many years to be able to keep them. I’ve killed thousands of dollars of them before now. Mine are growing and beautiful.
Unfortunately I think I may end up like that cause my tank isn’t super mature yet. I bought some stuff to does for more calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity so hopefully that’ll helpIn my opinion, they are just as hard to keep as SPS due to needing very stable parameters that are ideal for them, and maybe not ideal for other corals I have found that they like lower lights and lower flow along with a little dirtier tanks with higher nutrients. My issue in the beginning was having too low of nutrients and starving the Coral to death.

I wish it was as easy as telling you a secretWhat’s the secret I’m new to thus
I can already tell you that this approach only work for a small % of people or only people with lots of experience other wise 90% of others like me have to test test test till we figure out a routine of dosing and feeding and maintenance that we figured out throughout weeks If not months of testing that we stick to to keep the tank as stable as possible and then with time comes success, and by time, I do not mean a couple weeks I mean, months and monthsUnfortunately I think I may end up like that cause my tank isn’t super mature yet.
