Elegance Coral 11/26/03
Hello!
<Hi>
My husband and I have a question about our Elegance Coral. Normally
she has beautiful long green tentacles but today we noticed that she looks
"swollen" so to say, She almost looks an anemone-as in she
is "closing" like an elephant ear when they are eating. Her
tentacles stick out of the center of the
"swollen' body about 1cm. I've never seen her do this before. Do
you know what might be wrong?
<sounds like a feeding strategy... have you gone light on feeding it as of
late? This is a very needy/hungry coral. They can/will starve slowly over months
if not fed several times weekly>
Also, there is a tiny patchy of green "hair" coming up out of the
sand, directly next to her. It's only about 1cm high in a group no
larger than a quarter. Do you have any idea what in the world this
maybe?
<tough to say without a picture. Do send for ID if you can>
Thanks!
<best regards, Anthony>
