Help- Rainbow bubble giving me the stink

[Chikpeas]

This thing hasn’t opened since July. It’s even split once.

The split part I gave to someone and they said it’s huge and open. Mine has a skinny stalk and mostly closed. Feed it myssis shrimp probably twice a week. It falls over on itself.

I run a Kessil A80, just set everything into this 15 AIO two days ago- and No I have no parameters to give you… sorry! I can definitely get some.

My torch and other corals are very happy however. Idk what’s going on with my Nem :(

That pooor bubble is stretching for more light.

1. get a new light or
2. give it to your buddy.

I was thinking this, but wanted to double check. I thought maybe the torch would be pitching a fit as well if that was the case but I guess not!

New lights might just be too expensive- so too my buddy he goes!

When you finally upgrade he will likely have a split ready for you.

Holy moly does that nem want light lol.

I bet it will thrive once you give it more light.

Edit: That Kessil A80 is not enough. Its a good light, just very weak. Either get the next one up or find a different light. Tons of affordable options now.

i'm actually shocked it has depth of color as they usually get looking a little translucent when they aren't getting the proper light.
I do agree though, it is begging for some extra par.

Splits don’t always go well for any nem.
Pretty harsh that ripping apart thing

Yeah, what’s annoying though is that it’s the Exact same distance as when it was in the barrel like three days ago :expressionless-face: :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Yup, second the lighting being the problem. Went through this exact thing & nem will shrink until it disappears.

Alrighty—- So looking for a Kessil A160 then! 220 is what they’re listed at sale price, even used they’re still only $5 cheaper.

As others have said looks to be stretching for light. Your tank looks fairly new as well. From my experience keeping bubbletips in a new tank they tend to move around a lot if you have not gotten anemone guards for your powerheads I'd get them so your nem doesn't have an accident in the powerhead.

Hi! You’re correct, I just bought the tank, but that’s the only thing that’s new Everything else has been running since July and is from
a 3 year old 90 gallon, I’m going to just get the light today haha!

I don’t have any power-heads! So not a problem
