Don't worry, they are tough. Sometimes they won't open for a few days. Mine once took more than a week to open fully.

[Maxstar81]

Mine likes a little current.

Sways gently...

When i shifted it to a spot w/

lower flow, it refused to open till

i shift it again.

[godzillaliu88]

i see, i die la.. not openin.. not sure water got problem or not

the mushies zoos openin. expect for gonio dunno y past few days didnt open up much.

[godzillaliu88]

[colinsoon]

they need high flow... put them in an area of high flow. should cox them out... remember, it took mine bout 8-10 days to open, even though from day one its already in high flow area...

[godzillaliu88]

oh. ok. i'll try to place it at high flow area n hope it opens up soon. tahnks

They require a medium to high light level combined with a medium to strong water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, they will also require the addition of iodine and other trace elements to the water.
