I have a big devils hand about 12-14" diameter and a small one about 5-6" wide. Both are closed for 2 weeks now since I moved my tank. Do they need more light? I have a 125G tang and keep the devil's hand about 10" away from the lights. Any suggestions? |

I'm sure someone with actual experience with devil's hand will speak
up, but if it is anything like a leather, they are very
temperamental...just give it time. The one thing that I always check
for as far as leathers go would be good flow.

| I have a large devils hand as well and have noticed every one and a while it will close up and it looks like its shedding not sure what its doing but it comes back out of it a week or two later. I was told they do put off toxins so you may want to run some carbon. |

Maybe it's just the season? Two other hobbyist have also just posted that their corals, a Toadstool, LPS and some Zoanthids are closed up.
2 weeks is a long time. Can you describe how you moved the tank and tell us a little about the filtration? Post a pic if you can. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
