i would guess possibly a temp spike? perhaps someone left the thermastat on or if got hot down there? I have found that a lot of softies, expecialy anthillia and xenia dont do well to temp spikes....

nope wasnt that was a cool day and the temp never drops below 78 even when my windows are open and its 50 outside.

WHOA! Very nice! I see the mandarin goby look very healthy (fat), sign of a healthy tank! Your obviously very patient and dedicated.

nice

 

[Germanman]

any ideas about the problem?
the brain has recovered...the feather star is hanging in there but the star polyps look bad and so does the trumpet and kenya tree leather....any ideas at all?

stupid Q, did you touch anything before you put your hands in the tank??

 

[Catpicklesdog]

Is there any chance your Mandarin has shed?? Seeing as you've got rid of your apple that's all I can think of especially as there's no problems with your parameters.

no as stated before i always cleanse my hands first

and no she never really does and my filtration would suck that up in a few mins....hummm i see we are all as stumped as i am....thx for trying guys...maybe something will come up.:huh:

I hope it works out for you G/Man. There's nothing worse than having a problem and not knowing the cause. It'd be so much easier if you parameters were out!!! At least then we could say water change!!!

Good luck
