Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / July 2005Can Open Red Brain Corals Move?
I have an open red brain coral that keeps winding up snuggled next to a chunk of live rock. We move it away so when it inflates it is not touching anything. Within a couple of days it is back close to the rock so when it inflates the same spot is always touching the rock. I imagine the inflation - deflation cycle may cause some movment, but it always winds up in the same spot and doesn't go any farther. Are they capable of purposeful movement? Sooooo much to learn!  SignatureAnn R i've seen them inflate really large, which makes them get moved by currents a lot more easily. if you don't move anything around in your tank, the current would be pretty much constant and move them to the same place. you could put a dab of devcon epoxy on a rock to glue it down. >I have an open red brain coral that keeps winding up snuggled next to a >chunk of live rock.
