bowen1022 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm trying to take a break from stocking haha. I want to let stuff grow out for a bit. Maybe next month.

bowen1022 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Yesterday I noticed one of my zoas looked like it was turning "inside out" then today I looked and another was doing the same. Does anyone know whats up? Melting? Here is a photo taken with my phone (the one bottom left and top right) Also the top right one has what looks like one of the skirt pieces coming out of its mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowen1022 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Zoas are so weird. The armor of god looked totally fine last night then looked all shriveled like rasins now they look a little better. Hmm... Also all of my LPS/Softie polyps close up at night. Is this normal? I thought they were supposed to extend for feeding? Haha im such a newbie Anyways here is a random photo and does anyone have any ideas on where to put any of these frags?! I am stumped on what to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You have plenty of room! You will have a new tank before it all fills in haha. Stock that bad boy up do when you transfer into your new tank it helps fill it out better.

bowen1022 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Took these with the macro lens for my iPhone. I wish I could use it more but it requires that the lens is an inch or less away from the object. Both of these are pretty close to the glass.

bowen1022 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Got back to school where my tank is after 4 days away. My green monti appears to be bleaching so I moved it down on the sand bed. Also my acan got knocked over and was on its side for who knows how long so it got pretty pissed off. I hope it is ok though. Im working on a water change and I will be testing params a little bit after. Here are photos of the acan and green cap Hoping these guys come back to normal!
