    I had a freshwater flood of my 20 gal tank the other day and the salinity went from .024 to .017. All my corals are ok but the Pulsing Xenis has stopped pulsing. Might it be ok after slowly raising the salinity back up? Or has it been shocked to much?

    Well they started pulsing again this morning and are looking good. SG is up to .018. The weird thing is that my Yellow Polyps that have been sickly since the Hammer got to them have perked up with the lower SG. More of them are opening fully and the ones that haven't opened in weeks are now opening.
