If you still have it next to the Ricordia you better move it. It is your killer and will continue to sting your scoly as they inflate and cross paths. There is your culprit

I have had this happen more than once with the beautiful ricordia going to war with a scoly and for some crazy reason the beautiful ricordia wins. LOL Go figure

this is why i love reef2reef because sponsors who have vast amounts of knowledge are actually allowed to share that info with us w/o being immediately accused of trying to push their product

Our sponsors are DA bomb! They are actually "sponsors" that help pay for the site to run, but also share a wealth of knowledge. ;)
