 Umbrella coral question Hi all, I bought an umbrealla coral yesterday. It is attaced to two rocks, the way it is attached it is laying down sideways. Should I move it where to coral is facing up? Or will it move itself upwards in the direction of the light? Just asking before I do it, don't want to have to re-arrange the LR again. Thanks- Clay

| Re: Umbrella coral question This is y favorite coral in my tank. It will move upright by itselft. It actually moves according to the water current in my tank.

| Re: Umbrella coral question Cool, maybe he looks so bad because I just moved him in last night? He looks kinda pitiful right now. All drooped over and sorta closed. Hope he gets better.

| Re: Umbrella coral question Yeah, it's all shiney and waxy looking and I see some of it flaking off. I think he will be ok.

| Re: Umbrella coral question Can you post a picture? Shiny and waxy makes me think brown jelly disease. Use a turkey baster, if you have one, and gently spray him with a light stream of water. If parts of him do flake off you may have a problem.
