Chili Coral

[rdrink25]

I got this yesterday do I have it placed wrong? Is it supposed to be hunched over or will it stand up after a bit.

Its a harder coral to maintain and poor acclimation is what kills this thing. And mine isn't usually shrivel up or hunch over like that. It's more open, like Kenya tree. Give it a few days and see what happens

Chili Corals are low light corals, they do best under a over hang or in a cave that has good flow.

Hard coral to maintain even in a nps system they require heavy feeding daily low to no light high randomised flow gl with him hope you dripped it like a shrimp for a few hrs

Hardest coral I've ever attempted. Watched it disintegrate over about 4 days.

weird.. I had one for over a year and never gave it special attention. THAT being said I had it in a system that had marginal levels of nutrients floating around. It was in medium light. It had nice white polyps when it opened.

good luck.

Yep, and Live Aquaria has the same "easy" care level which I found to be untrue after my experience and searching on the web.
