Hello,
Today I left the LFS with a small green bubble coral which has so far been responding positively in its new environment. It didn't retract during the journey home and immediately started putting out sweeper tentacles once I finished acclimating it. Here it is:
It has already eaten some pieces of thawed mysis shrimp. Now that I have turned the lights off the bubbles seem to be shrinking in size whilst the tentacles are greatly extending (I made sure the other corals are well out of range).
Near the bottom you can see a single tiny "bubble" attached to the flesh covering the skeleton. I was wondering if this is a new head starting to come through? I also read that sometimes they grow pieces of flesh that "drip" off and grow their own skeletons.
It is on the bottom with just enough flow to make the bubbles and tentacles sway. Does it look healthy to you?
I did my homework before buying it, but general tips about bubble corals are more than welcome. Thank you for your time!
