Last time you walked by your tank did your robe fall open and startle the corals? That may be the cause...

Try a little higher, usually when they stretch out like that it means they want more light,

I don't think thats enough light if it's a single 150

it's been plenty of light, i just can't keep anything in the bottom 3 or 4 inches. Which is where these bam bam where placed. I re aquascaped last night and now all of my zoa's get plenty of light near in the middle of the tank. By the time the lights went off they started to look as they did a few weeks ago.

how about moving them away from frogspawn?

nano10 · #14 04/12/2007, 08:51 AM

since i reaquascape there is nothing near the frogspawn and everything seems happy now. I'll post picks of my zoa's and full tank shot tonight.
