riccordia not doing well

[ghazni]

Hi folks,
I bought this riccordia from LFS and it is not doing well after coming back home (it's been 5 hours since then). I have placed it middle of aquarium with moderate waterflow.

Should I show concern to LFS or just wait for more time ( and how much time should I wait)?

Some suggestions will be great.

Well what is it doing? I mean if it was open in the LFS and happy, if your tank water and light is good it will be fine, unless it was damaged by the transit home or in bagging. If it is just closed up, give it some time. Ricordia in my experince are very hardy and adaptable

Give it some time. Ricordea tend to be very hardy, and assuming your tank is in decent shape and you atleast aclimated it somewhat, it should be just fine.

I am just worried because i paid good money for it. So, I will contact my LFS tommorow and see what they say?

Probably in a day or two you will notice it liven up. It is probably just getting used to the change. I've had lots of corals that take a few days to completely come alive in my tank after purchasing them.
