What are the major contributors to lack of polyp extension besides fish nipping,thanks,mike.

redbugs, flow, light, crabs, fish. I think I covered them all. Oh, I forgot to say AEFW's(Acro Eating Flat Worms).

I would say more than any of the others mention it would be salinty, alk, ca, and phosphates. I would test those and post the resuts.

I would tend to agreed that poor or no polyp extension is due to poor water quality.
