Sad Brain Coral

[georgec]

Hi all,

I have a brain coral that I've had in my tank for about 18 months. It's been very happy, puffing out, eating, etc....

However, in the last warm spell, my tank got a little overheated and it stressed out a bunch of corals (I keep my tank around 78-80 and it hit 84 degrees). Everyone else perked back up after a few days. However, ever since, this guy has been shriveled up and hasn't opened up. The mantle is still colored up. It doesn't look like any tissue is dying/rotting off. Any suggestions on how to perk the little guy back up? I have always kept him on the sand bed in my tank.

Thanks!

I had this happened and I just kept feeding him and after a month or so he puffed back up

Hmmm... I hadn't tried to feed him because I wasn't sure whether he would eat all shriveled up. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
