Haven't seen the tentacles during the day, but I've heard that's pretty normal. At night, the mouth opens up, but still no tentacles. I've been placing food in the "trumpet" and nothing's happening - no tentacles coming out. The color's still the same as when I first got it, which is actually kinda worrying me. What are some definite signs that it's on its way out or already dead?

Were they eating the actual coral or just the food you tried to feed it? If it's the coral itself, then yeah, it's a goner.

The actual coral was being eaten by the shrimp, not the food I provided. The food was brown, and they were eating a white substance from the inside of the trumpet.
