i saw this on one of my lfs kryptonite candy cane one of the heads was hanging way down and looked like it was melting so maybe its normal

 

Hhmmm. It is a really healthy coral. Its full and fed normally even with the head bobbing in the current. I dont want to move it around, and its in a spot that a pic would just turn out blurry.
We have had this coral for at least 1 1/2 years. It has multiplied and seemed perfect until this happened.

 

Check the flow it could be too high causing the head to separate from the skeleton.

 

Good plan. I am going to go check right now.

 

Well, we moved it to our frag tray. It seems to be doing okay. I think we might loose those two heads. It didnt seem like the current was that strong. The coral has been in the exact same spot for so long. Its wierd that it would suddenly be too strong of current.

 

its not just growing is it?

 

I've noticed if you don't see the tentacles at night for a full week the heads usually don't last too long.
