check out wet web media in the pop-eye section, it sounds like a bacterial problem. Your best bet would be to remove them and treat in QT if you can.

if none of the chaeto has died then i would doubt the chaeto is directly to blame, however there's always the possibility hair algae spores were brought in with the chaeto.

If that's the case...

chaeto does not die as fast as it grows, if it died as fast as it grows then it would never increase in mass.

They are related to damsels except they have the added bonus of being fiercely teritorial. Anyone who says they are peaceful lies, i've seen an adult female maroon in action it's a sight to behold.

the tunze osmolator is good, it has no switch in the water just a laser eye at the waters surface. It also has the bonus of being very reliable.

i think clowns are boring personally, they seem to be a bit aimless and lack character & they are also known jumpers. I love blennies but they are also definately jumpers, i also like gobies though...

I would have thought it must be stress/disease related. The reproduction polyp losses I have heard of have been both rare and not a complete loss of the entire head.

i've tried an MJ1200 on about 3ft head, I thought it pushed fine for a small sump. The Spec says it pushes 5ft, but as has been mentioned I wouldn't go above 4.

the snails will help but you have to sort out your water 1st of all. Can you give us some more specs about your system and where you get your water from.

have you tried different sized holes in your durso cap? They will need adjusting for your new higher flow.

you cut the bottle at it's widest point near the top then invert the section you just cut off and stick it back into the bottle. That way it's easy for the fish to get in, but hard for it to get out....

I think so myself, there's some fantastic T5 actnics out now. The deltec actnic pure are my favourite, there's just nothing like this in PC lighting.

I wouldn't be too concerned about feeding just yet, as long as it was previously a well fed fish it'll take quite some time to die of starvation alone. If you have a QT then I would move it to that...

I have to agree with the above poster, I initially tried my chaeto under a white light & it didn't grow well. Now I use 1x 6k yellow and 1x triphosphor freshwater bulb and it grows like crazy.

My bicolour nips my softies and lps sometimes, but it's usually just 1 coral at a time and very infrequently.. I very much doubt a blenny would nip enough to make so many corals close up.
