Our local club had an auction two weeks ago, and I managed to win two unmounted frags of neon green nepthea. Everything else I had won is doing well, open, polyps waving etc. the nepthea is not happy. I have not witnessed any polyp extension. Water parameters are good, nitrates might be slightly elevated...
Xenia purchased that same night has anchored and is pulsing, frogspawn,-I swear it's doubled in size, as has the devil's hand leather. The blastomussa actually dropped several baby blastomussies (
) into the sand next to the parent colony!
Things are going GANGBUSTERS,
except for the nepthea!
Anyone with some experience with this coral, I'd love to hear from you. Am I expecting too much? Can this just be a temporary problem while it attempts to anchor? Is this a "high flow" coral?
Tanks in advance,
Mike
