Ssc no polyp extension.

What gives? It's place on my frag rack 1/3 from bottom of the tank. Gets ok flow. Not getting hammered

Have yet to see polyps are two weeks. I got it from battle corals and it was dipped, so no bugs. Any tips?

If your other Acros and SPS are doing OK.....just wait.

I had 1 SSC frag that after dipping took a couple of months to show a polyp. The only sign that she was alive was that it was not STNing.

That's basically what's going on here. No stn. No polyps. Also not brown but fading colors.

In my experience with a crappyish SPS tank...

It will fade but stay relatively healthy and should get some poly extension in a few weeks. Wait 6 months then it will get some green, then really bright green, then red tips, and after a year it might start to grow some. I got mine from Unique Corals and while it may not always be the nicest looking piece in the tank it is rugged.

Sounds par for the course with some shipped sps. Mine has grown like crazy but only show really amazing pe at night. Even though the pink lemonade next to it looks like a Millie 24/7

Why the acronyms? You're trying to make me think too hard. Stupid strawberry shortcake, I get it. [emoji19]

SSC are big for polyp extension hopefully it comes around.

Mine don't have crazy PE, but some. Just give it time. Some acrose are going to be fluffier than others.

Every where I go. Smh

I mean, zero polyp extension. Not fluffy

 

[rovster]

This is typical for mine during the day, at least lately. It's fluffier at night...

Mine is slightly more than the above but it took a while to get there for some reason

Pretty typical IME. It's a fussy coral IME. In my tank, it's the first coral to brown out and the last coral to color up, but it's tough as nails! It's one of the ones that survived a partial crash a couple months ago, but it's so slow to recover that 10 weeks later, I still see zero PE, it has just barely started to show some green sheen again, and hasn't grown over the receded tips at all where all the other corals that survived are totally recovered.

Yeah, that. ^

Is SSC considered a hard sps coral to keep?

 

[swk]

I have the unique corals SSC and its growing like crazy.

My SSC has great PE, but I also notice there were two days I removed my Tunze for maintainrnce and my SSC has no PE these days. Once Tunze put back, PE show up again.
