Help!!! Unhappy Frogspawn

[reefkprrn]

My frogspawn was added to the tank on 7/20/07, all 4 heads were opening very nicely and did not seem to dislike the flow area that they were placed in. The last 2 days one of the heads does not expand as much anymore. What could be going on? Should I move it somewhere else in the tank to see if it makes it happier. Thanks for the help.

I think that we need some more info, like the lighting it came from and went into, any corals near it that perhaps are stinging the frog. After that we might be able to give you some advice.

Yeah as above really. What lighting did it come from and at what depth, did you acclimatise it correctly and what is it under now ? What are the neigbour corals and how far away ? Need to know the calcium/alkalinity/mag levels and also PH swing, temp, salinity - heck give us everything......

It cam the LFS that had it under MH lights at the bottom of a shallow tank. It is now at top portion of rock work under PC lighting 700 watts both 10,000K daylight and 03 actinic. There are no other corals around it. The magnesium 1350, calcium 445 and alkalinity 3. There are 0 ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, the salinity rock stable 1.025 and the pH 8.1. All of the heads were opening fully except for the last 2 days. Now just that one head is not, the remaining heads are fully expanded and look pretty. What do you think.

For only having it three days, and that 3/4 are open, I would say that the last head is just getting used to cirrent or lighting. It will do fine under the pc, but should have started low in the tank and worked your way up the rockwork.

As said its just acclimatising to the lighting - if there are continued problems perhaps move it further down the tank.

be patient a few more days---then move it--but from the bottom up
