    I've had my tank for 9 months now and I went away on vacation for 12 days and now my colt coral is shriveled up. When I left it was perfect and now it looks like how they shrivel up in the night time when the lights are off. I've been back for 3 days and it hasn't improved. Everything else looks pretty good it just tooks 1-2 days for it to come back. Also my yuma shrunk but it still has its color. Should I worry??
    These are my parameters and pictures:
    Ammonia-0
    Ph-8.0
    Nitrite-0
    Nitrate-0
    Calcium-450

    12 days - was anyone watching the tank for you? are the lights on timers, were they off?

    how were they being fed while you were gone?
