Problems with searching: bubble coral problem
Has anyone else had problems searching on the forum today?
I have tried both IE and Firefox and I get an error everytime. Just wondering if it my computer or the site. Having problem with a bubble coral. It is receeding more and more each day. Yesterday was the first time it did not open at all. All my other corals look real good and the water parameters are all in range.

I'm getting the "We're Sorry" message when I put "bubble coral" in the search field.

The RC search gave me errors when searching for bubble coral and also just bubble but here's one of the results it gave me when searching octobubble.
One result

I don't agree that lack of feedings are the problem.
I don't agree that your Plerogyra will do better with less light and less flow. I guess that I'm just a disagreeable person. Oh looky what I found: a picture of the Plerogyra I had in my previous TOTM. It was a frag off of Playfair's. It was located under a 400watt halide and often received natural sunlight. It got lots of flow and I never target fed it.

I also agree to disagree with Gary. I have a very large bubble ( just ask Jeff) and it is on the sandbed of my 180 directly under a 400watt radium bulb and looks great. It also receives a ton of flow but it is random and alternates as it is in the spot where my 2 Koralia 4's crash with a tunze nano and a seio. I also never directly feed it.

Mine is on the sand bed now, full light. I did almost kill it because of too much steady flow the first couple of weeks. It went from baseball sized to quarter sized with feedings in two weeks. Original placement was on the live rock mid tank. I moved it to the sand bed and put a piece of live rock on the flow side and its regrown nicely. If I get a new camera after Christmas, I'll finally be able to take & post a decent picture.

so the resounding answer is:
NO clear indication of my problem. Some have success in high flow, high light, others in low flow, low light.... Guess I will just keep trying different things until I find what it likes best, hopefully before I lose it Thanks everyone for you inputs.

Are you sure that it did not get injured somehow? Their tissue can be really delicate when inflated, only time I have seen mine shrivel up completely was after my foxface knocked it over and tore it slightly on a piece of rock. It did open up fine within a couple of days.
