    I'm not having it, my large Neon Green Bubble Coral is not happy. He is no worst off, still opens up, pretty much doing the same thing since added. He is not liking something in my tank, perhaps location, to much lighting, to strong of current. I am not changing anything in there no more for him. So! if anyone would like to pay for next day shipping, I will give him up. I am certain he will be fine as long as his requirements are met, I can't put him any lower in my tank and I want him gone. I opened a lot of space for him and I want to replace him with SPS that I am having good success with.

    It took me a long time to find success with bubbles time and small feedings dailyalso mild current.this will workbut it takes time.do u have a pic.what's wrong with him.I find these as the most intersting and. coolest looking lps out there that is why I tried so hard with them.if youres still has flesh 1 inch down the side of the base or corralite then he will be fine and I can help u.but if he has receeded up to the Septa in my experiencec he is a goner in a show tank.if you have a frag tank and can leave him unmolested for months the flesh might grow back down the base.also algea must not come near the Septa by the receeding base or certain death.show me picks of him open and closed and top view with tank specs and stocking.if I like him I will take him but if you just had him for a little wile and there is no recession no need to give up yet it can be something as little as current.gl

    I took one of of my LFS's hands as it was dying. The first week it looked like it was healing and then all of a sudden, it looked like it was attached by a thread and hanging off of it's skeleton. I placed it in the dead space of my tank (very low flow) and it's doing much better in just 2 days time. It's fully inflated during the day and it's polyps are out feeding at night.

    Try moving it into a very, very low flow area, if you haven't already and keep it on the sand bed (this according to my research and now my limited experience). If overnight shipping wasn't so much, I would take it off your hands.
