Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok I have two things I would love some advice on.
1.- about 10 days ago we purchased a small Toadstool Coral. We acclimated it for two hours and gave it a nice position on the substrate that gets medium flow. I target feed my smaller corals and tube worms with zooplankton. About 3 days ago I fed and shortly after it start to bend its trunk off to one side. Its color is a little darker, and each day it seems to bend more. Now it is bent over so much that one side of the top is touching the substrate. It still opens everyday and the fingers stretch to the lights. Is is ok? Should I try something diferant? Water peramiters are good.
0 nitrate
0 ammonia
0 Nitrites
0 Phos.
Calcium 450
hardness 8
ph 8.2
salinity 1.025
Temp. 80
2. Now this may sound silly, but I have only to ask. Last night after the brights and actinic had gone out and my blue leds were on. I noticed a baby snail on the glass. We identified it as a turbo snail. This morning I found it and it had found one of the small shells we have in the tank for our crabs and it was toting it around. Do I need to also put larger shells in the tank for it as it grows, and does anyone know where to find them. My lfs only has small ones.
Thank you to everyone.
