Pretty sure it's not the lack of algae. Way too soon. Snails should be fine for up to week, probably longer.

Where did you order yours from? Thank youHello again,
I am on day 8 and bryopsis vanished!! Can I start WC or it is too soon?
Hopefully the other acros pull through! I would keep a strong eye on Alk and nutrients throughout for them.Added less than 200 mg/per 10 gallons.
Day 1- Things that are looking bad: looks like one my my Acro colonies is toast.rest of the colonies have retracted polyps almost immediately after I dosed flucanizole inthe tank. So far the treament is working great at killing off those pesky Acros.
Things that are still alive, Tuxedo and Halloween urchins, maxi mini, rock flower and an inferno anemone, Derasa, Squamosa and fish.
Things I did wrong: 1) I did not fully mix the powder in the capsules, so when I dumped the mix into the tank, clumps might have fell onto the sps. I did use the turkey baster to make sure nothing settled on any of my acros. I should have dumped it into the sump. Nitrates might be too low due to pre-existing bryopsis forest. Alkalinity dropped to 6.5. Prior to dosing however, the PE was good. I should have dosed flucanizole into the sump.
Day 4 and casualties so far are a total of 7 sps frags. I certainly would not call Flucanozole reef safe, though some of us don't have another option.
Also, all my snails are flipped over. Not dead yet but it doesn't look good. Haven't seen my cucumbers since I started dosing. Almost starting to get concerned about rising toxin levels but am hesitant to run carbon and start over.
