No one hears from you for the day and you show up in the middle of the night to refer to me as a Purely Intelligent Thoughtful Angel? Why abbreviate it? There is no reason to hide your true feelings in these modern times.
BTW I got the oven mits and socks that you crocheted for me. I don't think they'll fit though, so I donated them to one of your favorite charities. :)

It just thrills my heart that you donated the socks and mitts. I am guessing your wife came up with that idea as everyone knows you have very few original thoughts. Notwithstanding what you think PITA is an acronym for.

My apologies for being scarce on here the past few weeks. The software "migration" is NOT going smooth at all and it is a nightmare charting and so much more time consuming.

Made the order. I got trochus, margaritas, a massive cowrie, a single Atlantic turbo snail, and 15 blue legs.

For the past few days one of my hammers has been shrunk. My other one is doing great. I had a powerhead go out on that side of the tank recently. Could it be related to that?
Thanks

Camden I’ve had this before and I’d wait a day or two and give them a shot . Other wise it it’s toast as when it happened to me I lost them . See if anyone has a dip or medication for this . Is there a hermit crab bothering it ?

Well I'm unsure if it's a sickness... The snails haven't come in yet. And I haven't bought anything.

Flow changes can affect LPS, yes. As CB said, give it a day or 2 to adjust

Could be a flow issue. Check for aiptasia and pests. Watch for signs of bjd
