It has only been today with the sucked in pink mess. I fed the Nem two days ago no problems their and it excreted yesterday. Right now it looks to be trying to detach itself from the toadstool's stem and possibly on a rock. The mouth is stretched horizontally but still closed. Is this a possible...

Here are the pics.

I tried to attach pictures to this first post but it did not work. The second thread with the same title has the pictures.

For the first two weeks it was very vibrant and healthy, it does not move around once it was settled with its foot in the shade. It isn't stretching toward the top of the tank. The first pic. I was holding the toadstool toward the camera to try and get a better picture. At the moment it is...

Ok so I attached the image and sorry for the quality photo. The color is actually more pink and the tentacles are still bright green but deflated. The params. are all normal my temp. is 79.2 and SG is 1.026 the tank has been established for a year, I have two t5's an actinic and day bulb along...

Thanks for all the help but they did not make it. My hydrometer is very old and was reading ten sg's off. My tank is down to where it needs to be. The high salinity killed the xenias they could not adjust.

Ok so I purchased a pulsing xenia frag with three branches. They looked great the first night now its day three and they are laying down and some of the polyps are closed. Hasn't pulsed since the first day. And now I just noticed a "tear" along one of the stalks. Is this them starting to...

The quality is not all that great, but my tank is growing beautifully as planned.

The fullness of the tentacles are not a real indicator of good health. The area you want to focus on is the center of the pallet which is the mouth, tight and closed is a great sign of health, droopy and if you can see through the hole that is a sick one. When feeding if the BTA takes to krill...

As for feedings once or twice a week is a rule of thumb with corals in general. Overfeeding can really degrade the water quality and it will poop more than it should and grow/split very quickly which isn't as good as it sounds. It needs to grow healthy and strong with time not rushed.

You're SG is way too low. It needs to be at LEAST 1.025, that goes for majority of coral/livestock. My bta has beautiful color and is puffed usually at all times, its moving under a rock slowly. I think it is just exploring and possibly pooping.
