 |  Yellow polyps
All of a sudden, my yellow polyps are atrofying! Pumping xenia and other corals doing fine!  What's happening? Calcium is fine, etc. etc. They have shrunk to nothing and they were beautiful like trees waving in the breeze! I guess it's too late for help now? Wayne |

Do you occasionally feed them meaty foods? Like, mysis shrimp or cyclopeeze? That should help if the water quality is not the problem  _________ http://www.3reef.com/uploads/BirdSig3.jpgI Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
