capnella problem

[UseSkaForEvil]

so ive had a small frag of some capnella coral for a long time and it hasnt grown a bit. in fact it used to kinda stretch out but now its gotten much more stubby. the little mouths open and close depending on if soemthing bothers it or the lightign changes but it hasnt grown at all in more than 6 months i also had some zoes awhile back but they didnt spread and actually disappeared pretty quickly (something was eating them i geuss? any other reason?) any ideas?

Can you give some tank specs ? Lighting & water parameters. I pic of the coral would be helpful as well

the Capnella as in the kenya tree coral?
thoise are usally pretty easy to get growing , but that is also said for Zenia. which will or will not grow in certain tanks.
they usally like a stonger lightng source and seem to need out side feeding ( mean you have to feed them)

I would say light and strong flow - when I moved mine it a such location from the corner, they started to grow very fast. And I have nutriend-rich water.
