Hi, I got a pussy coral about a month ago, it sulked for a few days then just opened up beautifully. It often just collapses and looks awful for half a day or so but always comes back. I think maybe they just do that. Mines only under 2 T5's (being updated to mh soon) and in low flow but seems ok. Just give it time.

I've got a few pussy corals, they all sulk and wilt at different times, some for days at a time....they all come back better than before.

If there's no improvement after a few days, try putting it in a lower flow area. They're not very fond of high flow IME.

Sorry but cant stop worrying.

I had a Pussy coral given to me 6 weeks ago it came out for a day then sulked for almost 2 weeks now it's doing well so don't worry just yet.
