hey all. sorry i haven't really been around...i'm super busy with school and work, and on top of it all my computer hasn't been working:wall:. but i have what i think might be a problem...
i have a colony of yellow polyps that has always done well. when i got it there were like 14 or so polyps, and it grew to over 40 in a matter of a couple of months. but, over the past couple of weeks, they've changed. they've got a reddish tint to them, and the polyps are closed more than usual. also, even when they are open they're not as large, tall, or as open as they were. they're probably only about half the size they used to be. has anyone experienced this??
my water params are great, trate 0, sg 1.026, ca 460, amm 0, ph 8.2, etc etc etc. i do a 15ish% water change weekly with ro/di water. the only thing i've changed is the brand of mysid shrimp i'm feeding my fish. could this have been the trigger to bring on these symptoms? all my other corals are doing just fine, it's only the yellow polyps that seem to be affected. any help/ideas will be very appreciated.
