The elegance has been in the tank for a month, the first two weeks it looked very healthy, tentacles out, expanding nicely during the day. I fed it some frozen brine and silversides a couple of weeks ago and after this it has never been as full. Tentacles don't extend, the meaty areas seem to be a little swolen... no tares... it has been emmiting mucus, it is in medium current and about 11 inches from 440 watts of vho lighting. Any ideas??? bad placement??? but it was happy at first.
Thanks for any help
Tank params:
9 months old
75 gal (water is RO/DI Hi Silica removal Kent system)
85 lb live sand
130 lb live rock
Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
Ph 8.1
Nitrate less than 5
Inhabitants:
Yellow pollyps -- doing great
Green star pollyps -- doing great
Green flower pot -- brought back from the brink of death
Devil's hand leather -- doing great
Open brain (modern) coral -- doing great
Torch -- doing great
some bi-valves on Florida rock -- doing great
some unkown corals on Florida rock -- doing great.
Elegance -- the one I'm worried about
The typical collection of hermits and snails
Naso tang (I know it will outgrow this tank, I'm seeting up a 180 now for his new future home)
Foxface Rabbitfish
Psychadelic mandarin
Green Brittle star

It's a lot harder than it looks, isn't it?
