Water temperature-78 deg
Nitrites-0ppm
Nitrates-5ppm
Calcium (If applicable)-450 ppm

Any recent changes to tank-put in sailfin tang, coral beauty, and heniochus
Inhabitants (fish)-3 listed above and 2 clowns, six lined, scissortail goby.


Okay, so here is the prob, I rescued this bubble coral from a guy with the crappiest lighting I have ever seen and it had no fleshy parts. When I put it into my tank, he came out and started growing. That was about a month ago. I just looked at him and his mouth is distended. His mouth is out and his bubbles aren't full. What's going on with him?
