ceastman Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have a candy cane coral that seems to have retracted? 1/21/2015: 1/27/2015 I haven't checked my magnesium much but a couple of weeks ago it was 1300: alkalinity and calcium have been stable.

ceastman Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 could ph also cause it to retract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceastman Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Too much water flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reburn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My initial guesses excluding swinging parameters. Too much water flow. Too much light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceastman Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 ok moved the candy cane from the middle of the tank to near the sand bed and near a rock to cut down on the currents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceastman Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Just checked my magnesium, its only 1200. Where in Austin can I get some magnesium additive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would guess any of the LFS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammons.david Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is your candy cane new because when I got mine it didn't open for like 2 weeks, but now it is doing perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Mine is much happier since I moved it into a really shady spot. Of course that depends on how much light you have in your tank in general, but it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceastman Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 he seems ok, I think I saw some polyps last night, ill look again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceastman Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Polyps came out tonight and I put in some reef chili tonight and some coral frenzy the night before after lights out. All my corals have their polyps out at night, its like have two different tanks the day time tank and the after hours tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
