open brain moving??!!??
 

The flesh has lifted right off the skeleton, and actually moved away. Tentacles are extended & flesh is soft? Any Ideas?

That doesn't sound good. Can you get a photo? Is it withdrawn or puffed up?

Looks open & puffy

A couple of my heads of frogspawn did the same thing. They died shortly after. They looked really cool though floating around all inflated.

It's not good. I'm not sure how that happens but that's basically how I lost my open brain which I had had for something like 6 or 7 years. It happens to my candycanes too. And come to think of it I lost a frogspawn that way too. I think it's some kind of disease/parasite/pathogen/stress/something-bad-anyhow. :(

agree
 

I have to agree, I had one a few years back and it did the same thing... Terminal:sad:

What an unusual phenomenon. I was forced to google the topic, and did find a couple of people who claimed their OB did eventually recover a skeleton, after a long time. Most mentions though, have no followup, so I think it is likely a very bad thing. Update the thread from time to time - I'd like to hear how the story evolves or ends.

Happened to my candycane as well. One by one the heads floated away on their own. It's weird because the coral otherwise looks completely healthy.

The brain was in a 29 gal biocube at our store. I brought it home to put in our 90 so I could watch it closer.

We have put the flesh in a plastic container with sand in the bottom & set in a low flow area of the tank....we shall see....
