A pinched polyp will look like its constricted in one spot on its stalk- almost never open when pinched.

Alk swings most comonly- but general stress can also be a factor.

03-21-2010, 11:39 PMPost #5: Ocho CincoOk that could be a possibility. I'm sure the tank went through a small cycle with the changes I made, so that could have done it. Ill keep you updated when I look at them again.Quote:

I got my water tested today and I also had them test the ALK......and it was high! Soooo....I'm guessing and hoping that was the problem?

Most likely. :big_grin:
Now ya just got to get it right, and hope they pull through the stress. Keep an eye on them for what I listed above. -
03-22-2010, 11:16 PMPost #8: Ocho CincoIm going to do 2 water changes a wek to get it down. IDK what caused it to get high, i never added ant supplements or anything. Would using tap water cause it?Quote:

Might want to test your fresh saltwater....just in case. A tap water test wouldnt hurt either.
