I got a 3 button candy cane frag acouple of weeks back and put it fairly high up in my water column- 5 watts / gallon CFB with moderate flow in my 14 G biocube ( upgraded)- SG1.025, pH8.2, nitrates always around 5-10, Calcium 400. The edges have never really "fleshed out"- you basically see a hard pinkish surrounding area. The center still floureceses (sp) very green under actinics with pink edges but overall under full light it looks "emaciated".
I dont see much in the way of sweeper tenticles at night either- are we dead, dying? any thoughts. The only other thing is I have some sort of crustaceans on the same live rock, looks like a copepod but bigger- that come out at night- could they be eating at it? I have in the tank a finger coral frag, a frog spawn, a pink acropora , a torch and a brain frag that appear to be thriving, as well as some xenias that I growing like weeds that grew off my original live rock from nothing
