My fox coral does not open fully

[jason]

<_<

I just bought a fox recently from CCK fishfarm. It was fully open when I buy it.

Does anyone know what criteria is needed for fox to open fully.

1) water circulation?

2) Lights

3) Temperature?

4) Others

Pls englighten. Thanks

It's a coral which prefers low flow.

Are you putting it too near a powerhead?

It doesn't need the full blast of MHs... slightly shaded is ok.

Temp...not too sure... I have a chiller..

Jason....shift ya foxy to a place of:

Low-mid water movement, Low-mid light...placement Low too.

Should work...leave it there for ard 3 days b4 shifting to another new positions (if it does not open)

Good luck!

Erm, how long has it been in your tank? Maybe it just needs to adjust for a while then open? But something is wrong if it doesn't open for more than 3 days even when it is not disturbed.

QiXian,

My fox is in my tank for around 1 week. It did not open fully.

Hi jason

See your other post. I think the problem is with your water.
