January 7, 201214 yr comment_466762 thats true :thup: just wondering, i've read that they can take up to 2 days Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466769 wont be the shrimp bro, just be the fact someone just took em out of the setup they liked into something they have to now adjust too differently, is the lighting setups differ greatly? can take them awhile to get used to that Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466788 as well as the powercut at Wonderworld,he left it in the bag for 5 hrs while going for a swim !!! that might also contribute to the reason why it is not opening Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466792 at wonderworld they were closed up because they had a power cut had you witnessed them prior to sale at full extension??? You should know by now, not to buy anything until you've seen them eat, (in the case of inverts and fish), observed them over a couple weeks, and seen them fully extended and bright... Not saying that Wonderworld lied to you, but it MAY be a way of shifting a dud specimen on a unsuspecting and (obviously) under-informed, member of the public, by saying the polyps are contracted due to a "power-cut".... I hope it is not the case (I expect that wonderworld has better service and civic duty than that) and that they do come out for ya, but take it as yet another lesson. :sage: EDIT: as well as the powercut at Wonderworld,he left it in the bag for 5 hrs while going for a swim !!! :facepalm: yea, that too...

January 7, 201214 yr comment_466804 they reassured me that they can last up to 24hrs what before its dies :digH: Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466820 If they don't open by mid afternoon tomorrow you might want to give them a call and ask a few questions Report
January 8, 201214 yr comment_466835 well MarineFish4life this is what u PM'ed me... i put it in the tank 5 hrs after i bought it because we went for a swim in a lake over there so it sounds like 5 hrs to me rather than 3 :gigl: Report
January 8, 201214 yr comment_466865 i counted wrong :oops:, today i saw some little white stars coming out on some of them, is the white inside the green or did i get white ones? Report
