I got a candy cane frag about a week ago and it was opening beauitfuly up until yestaurday mouring I feed the corals every other day with phytoplex and he is about midway down in my tank I had him kinda close to the output of my filter I moved him to the other side of the tank today to get him away from it to see how he does can anyone give me any other ideas (water parameters are in the normal range ph 8.0, nitrate less than 20 nitrite 0 kh 300 temp 80f )

see your other post ,
When changing the location of the candy cane it will take a bit of time to reacclimate to his "new" location they are fairly hardy corals . The photo you may back down to 1 x a week so you dont get high nitrAtes and algea blooms. They prefer meaty food like cyclop -eeze (fed lightly) or will take mysis as well HTH :mrgreen:

it does alot I have been meaning to get some other type food along with some calcium and iodine sups also when I have made the trip to the LFS but I have forgotten all about them when I get there so I guess its time to break out the old "post it's" and stick one to my forhead next time I go to the LFS thanks for your help sadie

yeah I mean in the two days I think I have changed his location about 4-5 times with no real time to speak of inbetween to give him a chance to recover but I think this spot is ideal for him so I will give him a couple of days to see how he does thanks again all oh some new photos will be up soon in my photo thread. thanks you can get a better look at him and see what I mean they were taken about 25 mins ago thanks

He just looks a bit pissed off at the moment give (very) light direct feedings and he should recover with time and proper water conditions

Way to go on making him happy again. You can also check after lights out and see if the feeder tenticles are out, sometimes that can be an indication that he's actively trying to feed.
