marinefish4life Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 ok maybe mine are just adjusting to the light times, because the lights are on all day at the pet shop :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 using an additive nutrafin cycle it says the tank will be ready in 3 days The stuff is crap , does not work. No marine is going to be ready in 3 days, as for the star polyps they need lots of water movement to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 if you have seen the white stars then they are probably still alive sounds like they dont like something in your tank for the polyps not to extend they are very hardy corals so id check all your parameters as it does sound like your tank isnt properly cycled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mine took 2 or 3 days to open fully. They love light and lots of flow. Some star polyps have white centers and long green 'petals'. Some just have the long green petals. Mine closed up on one side just recently for about 3 or 4 days. I moved them higher in the tank and away from my other corals (just in case they were having a toxic war game) and they opened up fully the next day. I was at Wonderworld last week and all their star polyps were open and looked just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
