Hi everyone,

I've had reef tanks for a while, but this is a new tank - finished cycling in mid-June.

I bought this Sherman Rose. It's been happy, eating, doing great. It split Thursday. I understand they're trying to heal themselves, but I'm not liking the way they look. Any thoughts? Normal or sick?

Salinity: 1.024
pH: 7.9
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Phosphate: 0
Temp: 78

Thank you all!

They are adjusting. Did you change flow or light settings?

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I have been a little. Since it's a new tank, I've been trying to dial things in. I haven't changed anything for a few weeks, though.

They looked so much better last night. They were both fully inflated. I think you're right. New tank. Just split. They're probably just trying to heal and adjust.

Thanks for replying. I appreciate your help.

  • None! My inverts are model citizens. :-)
