Frogspawn

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Hey guys my brother and i did a large water change on our sw tank last night and this morning one of our frogspawn heads was looking normal, but the other looked inverted! I cant get pics, but any theories? Thanks!

Do you have a powerhead or HOB aimed at it? Frogspawn does not like direct flow.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

No the powerhead it not moving it very much at all... The flow kinda bounces off the rock then hits the frogspawn a tiny bit. Could it be because the salinity is too high or low?

What is the specific gravity? If you're using one of those little plastic hydrometers, I would not put much faith in what it says.

We have a refractometer and the tank is 25 but the salt in the backet was 24, would that make a differance? The levels are good and everything... But we got the coral ob saturday so its new

Just give it some time IMO. A bucket of sw at 1.024 added to a tank that is 1.025 isn't going to impact the tank's sg much at all so I don't think that is your problem.

Okay when i go home today hopefully they are both open! Haha if not i will test the levels and salinity. Thanks gor the help!

Do you have any crabs? I know my corals retract when they get near and it takes awhile for them to come out again.

Haha nope only 2 cleaner shrimp! No problem though because the frogspawn is looking as good as ever! One of the heads is even breaking into 2 heads!
