|  Chili Coral Tip
FYI
My Chili seems to like relatively low light and low current.
It however very sensitive to debris/algae build up and at times will not open up for long periods, if at all. Mine has stayed closed for months, despite moving it to different positions around tank.
When it does this, if you take it out and go over it with a soft bristled tooth brush, cleaning off any accumulated gunk...It will immediately open up.
Just discovered this...should have thought of long ago...   _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."

I found sinilar with mine.... you can pick up a small paintbrush type sponge at any painting department that is usually used for staining that works well | |
