Golden bush coral

[skinson]

I have a golden bush coral in my tank, it is a good specimen with a lot of new growth on a wide piece of live rock. Thing is once, or twice a day it shrivels up for about 1 hour then comes back to full glory, as if it were having a nap! Any one experienced this with their coral?

Im not sure what the term bush coral refers to... is it a Cladiella like a colt or or finger leather? Most leathers like flow, but it isnt uncommon for them to close up for a little bit once or twice a day. We have a healthy, large finger leather at my college and he seems to close up about mid-day, but then reopens looking great.

I would say yours is just fine.

I have witnessed the same type of behaviour in other softies, xenia is just one example.
