Bubble corals are photosynthetic, so they do not require feeding. Having said this, feeding them will enable them to thrive, but this is definitely not the issue the TS is facing.

maybe you can ask the following:

1. Was its climatized (most corals we dun, but being singaporean and not alot of effost why not.

2. wats ur NO2, NO3 (think most of us face this issue) reading? issit low or high? If you do not have a test kit, bring some water to my house i can help u test.

3. Is there copper in your tank?

4. Issit in a high flow area?

5. Is there reef unsafe fishes? I see a clown...wat happens when i had a skunk clown was it was trying to use my jewel and Gonipo to house. So they always close when the clown does it.

As already mentioned by bro liquidnoise, there can be many reasons why the coral behave as such.

If it is due to water condition and placement, you just have to correct it.

If its due to irritation by other inhabitants, maybe you can try relocate or isolate it, till it recovers and all inhabitants get accustomed to each other.

If it is due to acclimatization not proper, then I guess nothing much you can do now, but just wait and hope for it to recover.

All the best.
