Get those nitrates down Sam! Well, you're not the only one with coral problems. My sun coral has never fully opened since I got it. The polyps will only open enough to expose their mouths, eat, then close again. Talk about a PITA feeding them. My gorgonian frag is also being difficult, only opening in the dark and closing up when I try to feed it. Maybe I need higher nitrates to keep these non-photosynthetic corals!
