[peong]

Recently jus bought a red jewel fm another reefer, till now abt a mth it still doesn't open, why? My exiting white with purple tip jewel only hv same problem, why? can someone give ur advice. many many tks!

Try feeding GPs, provide lotsa flow and also dose trace elements of molydenum and maganese...

[prec]

maybe its ur water parameters bro..

[peong]

Don't think is the water parameter gives probm cos i hv another two open pretty nice, no the water flow too cos i did exchange their location but still no improvement.

firstly what do u mean by not open?

as in dun xtend long = not open ?

or u mean it minimum only can c e flower not e stem?

[peong]

Cannot c both!

i cahnge from a 3ft tank to 4ft tank but my jewel doesn't seem to grow up....my heart already die off liao

[ambystoma82]

ehz... sumtimes reli muz c luck one loh..

sum pple coral only can put certain area open

sum pple put anywhere also open big big...

so reli cant giv any comments...

best is buy one tht is already blooming well in e tank then buy..

if put inside ur tank got probs then mayb check e water quality...bahz..

jewel coral has extremely poor survivability in aquariums

not to break your heart but perhaps you needa prepare for its passing away

so sorry

From my experience, red jewel need more lights, so place it higher to ur lighting, and it will eventually open up. I did the same and now it open.

give it a little more flow and lights.. i did it for my neon pink one..

Neon pink??

Wow.... show leh show leh...

My normal one open big big for abt a couple of months, then now can only see 'flower' no stem liao, didnt help when the shrimp keep disturbing it...

[valerossi]

dun think it's true...got two jewel, put on high light and flowrate....still the same...doesn't grow up!

Hi it may be overskimming try to turn off the skimmer for 6 hr and at the same time pour some trace element and plankton .

[peong]

I tried too, but no use at all. Now placed at the top of the surface 4 abt 2 wks, still the same...
