Default what do I need to do?



Brought Silver Branch Pumping Xenia and put in 54 gallon bow front tank Saturday. I think I hurt it when I was trying to place it in the tank. It is all balled up. Doesn't seem to want to open up. Any sugestions on helping the little guy? If you click on the picture you can make it bigger so you can see the coral better.
thanks,
Nina

It lookes to me like it has good color and no scars or tears. If you bought it at a lfs did their other corals look healthy? I have always found soft corals to be very hearty to manipulation and propagation.

Where do you have it placed? They light moderate current and bright lighting. Maybe you need to move it to a different spot.

I moved it to the bottom of the tank and it did open up on Tuesday. I think it may have been in shock from the move. Seems to be much happier and healthier now. Thanks for your help.
