The charming "Prince Scopus" wakes up the "sleeping beauty Chili coral" with a kiss...
After "sleeping beauty" lies dormant for 3-4 days, Prince Scopus gives the TLC to his tankmate, then commands his head servant, (this writer) to do a 10% water change, and gently puff some clean water over the sleeping beauty to clean off the old mucous and stimulate polyps expansion...
then give squirts of diluted zooplex and phytonplankton directly to the polyps. while shutting down the water circulation for a few minutes.
Applying afterward a moderate to strong flow from two power heads in opposite directions. This cycle repeats itself weeklyLadydragon55, I hope this encourages you to keep trying. If it has slimed over you may need to do more frequent water changes...also be careful of it's effect on the other reef mates if it begins to fail?
