There have been a few instances when it didn't look too well but mostly it's been stable as long as we didn't hit it with much direct flow.Tue, 13 May 2008 13:34:56 GMTJohnstonRE: Peral bubble dying I think....http://forum.petstore.com/Topic85875-4-1.aspxIt is in the lowest water flow I have in my tank(Which is next to nothing). It also eats mysis shrimp everyday because that is what I feed my fish. So really I have no idea whats going on.Tue, 13 May 2008 09:07:48 GMTryanpfafferRE: Peral bubble dying I think....http://forum.petstore.com/Topic85875-4-1.aspxIn addition to what Steven mentioned (smaller foods), how is the flow around the coral? They generally don't like to much of a flow, just a gentle flow. </P><P>I have had similar experiences with bubble corals (2 in the past), they do great for around 6 months and then all of a sudden stop opening (inflating) as much and then they go down hill. I just figured I was not giving it the appropriate food, supplement, light, etc... (i.e. something was missing from the tank for their long term health).</P><P>I wonder what others long term success has been with bubble type corals?Tue, 13 May 2008 08:05:18 GMTargiRE: Peral bubble dying I think....http://forum.petstore.com/Topic85875-4-1.aspxI would try smaller foods like Pacifica plankton and mysid shrimp.Tue, 13 May 2008 05:04:35 GMTSteven ProPeral bubble dying I think....http://forum.petstore.com/Topic85875-4-1.aspxI have a 29g reef and my pearl bubble is wasting away for the past few weeks.
