Sun Polyps...what would cause them to not come out??

[saltman1]

I have had a beatiful happy colony of sun polyps for about 3 months now. I fed them regulary and every night the polys would come out and blossom. Well about 10 days ago the polyps stopped coming out??? And they havent come out since. The colony looks a little bloated liek they are still alive but never come out. Even when I squirt some mysis shrimp juice at them nothing...very weird...any thoughts

anyone

Can you list your water parameters?

do you have any shrimp in the tank? mine were pestered by the shrimp even when feeding them with a dome cover after they ate the shrimp would still crawl all over them... so right now they reside in a breeding chamber

They may also have decided to come out at a different time. Mine does this on occassion. Instead of their usual 8pm-10pm they will open up either early while I'm at work or at somewhere aroung 2am.

Put them in your refugium and feed them. Keep them there. They will get natural food too. Also, you need to check all water parameters and re post. Cant give advice with no knowledge of the situation.

find out if some critter is bothering them, maybe flow or water parameters...
