thanks for the quick pics mate .
It seems bizar that it has affected a small section like that
I dont think water movement is your trouble that seems to be fine .
One point that does come to mind is maybee your fish, you seem to have a few in their are they all old tank mates or have you recently introduced a few new fish? | |

No need to target feed them something so small like Brine or mysis and foul your water up just take a little chunk of a raw shrimp and place that into them like an anemone they will do the rest and just feed one head and that will feed the entire Colony. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |
