What is wrong with my ricordea?!

[iball1804]

Well I recently got two ricordeas in the last couple days. The two I got were both healthy and open.

 

Now a couple days later, one looks perfectly healthy, and the other is starting to curl up.

 

Its mouth is very very wide open, the sides are in a wavy fashion, the actual polyps on it are curling up almost, and it doesn't really react to much.

 

Can you diagnose anything? Dying? Splitting? Just being angry?

They are hardy corals and just give them time. Mine curl, hurl, shrink and spit black stuff and that is normal...My rics regularly look like there is something wrong and there never is....

Pics? It may even be splitting.

Ya you need pictures.And if its not eating and spitting stuff you could have a real problem developing fast.Make sure it has enough light those things like light.Most likely you parameters are off if its not opening and once you get that straightened out you will still probally have to wait 3-7 days.The one i have once tightened up because of bad water and took between 7-14 days to really fill up all the way.Try feeding it.

 

Otherise if your waters good it might just be sucking the nutrients out of the water.Hard to tell with no picture.

I also will test my stats this afternoon. Wish me luck!
