Green sinularia

[canadianbudz604]

My sinularia has been closed for 1 week. My Params are:

Sal 1.025
Nitrates 5
Ammonia 0
Calcium 420
Phos 0

What could be wrong with it? Params are good, nothing bugging it, I just changed the water today and all other corals are doing very well. I Tryed blowing it with a turkey baster (someone told me to do this as it may be shedding?!?! But no slime came off or anything. I dont know why it's closed nothing bugs it and it's all alone in its spot. Anyone?

Mine is also closed, seems to be fairly sensitive to temperature sometimes, it should open up when it gets cooler out.

looks normal they close for a while and then a layer of (skin?) peels away
i think its a part of normal growth some people say after theirs does this
it has a growth spurt
needs flow to help the (skin?) peel away once it starts to come off

Yupp, they do that from time to time.

2 weeks, still not open. No signs of it looking any different. I have been blasting it a bit with a turkey baster but its not looking any better or any worse for that matter. Such a nice coral, but it just wont open back up. Ive got a ton of flow in the tank. Aquaclear 50 with a koralia 1. All other corals are perfect. How long will it stay closed? Ive been reading some peoples stay closed for 5-6 weeks. anything i can do to help it along?

Mine loves high flow. And high light. Try moving the location of yours.

Closes up here and there. Always after a feeding of coral food.

i cant move it unless i cut it. It was thriving and i havent changed anything. Its high up in my tank and gets tons of flow. everything gets tons of flow.
