palys are "bell" shaped

[ezcompany]

they're not dying or anything, but they're not looking nice either, their skirts are sagging towards the bottom looking bell shaped. other zoos and palys are doing well. any thoughts?

Probably just a little irritated. Almost all of of my PE's do that when i accidentally rub against them.

A pic would help.

Mine started that a couple of weeks ago and are bleaching out now. I can't figure it out. Keep an eye on yours and check parameters.

I noticed one of mine doing that for the first time today. I had just been in the tank turkey basting the rock so i thought nothing of it. I will test my tank in the morning and get back if anything is out of wack.

 

[ezcompany]

yes, exactly like that in that thread.
i have no idea why though, all other palys and zoos are fine. at first i thought it was too little light.

Mine did that right before they melted. Lost almost all palys after I changed the lights. I moved them to the bottom and they recovered.

I've had this same problem with several on 2 of my RPE colonies. They've been like that for 3 months. They eat fine and seem healthy, just unattractive. I've thought about fragging them off, they're an eyesore to the rest of my beautiful inhabitants. :wink:

ezcompany, what is your tank temperature at??

 

[kingfisher62]

My tank has been running a little high with this hot weather 82 degrees at times . I like it at 78 normally.
Do you think that could be it Don?

pffft, dont know but its a start!:lol:


My PPE frag looked the same way today and my tank was up at a high 84
