Nano Nano Boo Boo Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 What’s the latest water test reading? Any new additions? Or corals growing close to them? Quote Link to comment

I haven’t tested the water recently, we got a peppermint shrimp recently but I don’t think that’s the problem and, there are other corals growing very close to them which I suspect is the problem.

What does not looking as good as they used to mean? Are some open and not all of them? You sure the peppermint is picking at them? Take a turkey baster and blast them with water a few times. This should be done regularly to keep the mats clean of detrius. Your corals will thank you and open up bigger than normal. Quote Link to comment

I don’t think that’s the problem. I pack my corals in right next to each other. It didn’t get much tighter than this with a anemone right next to my zoas which stayed happy. Quote Link to comment
