Frogspawn not opening up?

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I have 2 frogspawn in my frag tank that no matter what don’t seem to want to open up.

 

I have had one of them for a few weeks and has been open since last week and the new one hasn’t opened anywhere near what it was like at the lfs.

 

My parameters are:

salinity - 35ppt

alk - 11.5 (using Red Sea pro)

calcium - 450

mag - 1350

25*c

phosphate - 0.03spacer.pngspacer.png

 

My zoas, monti and Seriatopora look happy but I just can’t get the frogspawn happy.

 

any help would be appreciated!

Could be acclimating, too much flow, too much light.

 

These are the common issues

Thanks for getting back to me! I have had them both with little flow and they didn’t seem happy either so I am trying to find an area that they like. Do you think I should lower the light intensity a bit more? I have an ai prime 16 with ab+ at around 30%

What size tank is it?

30% is pretty low.

 

So we know high light isn't the issue. 

 

What about flow. They don't care for high flow.

 

How are nitrates?

It’s a 5 gallon tank so that’s why I’ve set them low. I have had them in low flow to test it and they didn’t seem to like that so I have just moved them to a higher flow area.

 

i need to buy a new nitrate test kit as mine has run out, so I’ll know by tomorrow
