78.7 to 79.3 via apex. Others are fine, duncan was closed about 7 days but is open now and grew 2 heads. I moved an acan near it, maybe chemical warfare??

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

Just tested everything Again, got same results. I'm at a loss. Duncan closed up again too but all others (8 of them) are fine and opened huge

I'm wondering if clowns are bothering them since both are near their cave

Yea mine will retract hard if poked or nibbled.
I have a Pygmy angel that bothers mine.

How long does it take to recover? Weird thing is, at night it opens up more and sweepers come out, that's why I'm thinking he's being bothered

Mines been all day :( I'll just watch I guess, I have no idea at this point

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Well don't lose hope.
And it may just new a move.

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

I won't, all others are fine except him and the duncan who is in same area so maybe same issue, although I don't know why clowns would bother them all of a sudden

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

He reopened today and seems to have grown bigger!

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Good to hear. Just pouty I guess.
