Around September 10 (almost 1 month ago) I bought 2 Montis: one orange and one green. The green one is doing pretty well, but the orange one haven't opened his polyps since 2 weeks ago.

pH: 8.1
Calcium: 430
KH: 11
Mg: 1480

You can see how much the green one have growth in one month.

1) Nope, that anemone isn't close rn. When I took the pic it was kinda closed bc it just splitted.
2) That white dots are air bubbles because of the flow. Lol.
These are bubbles? Looks like tissue issue going on. If I didn't know any better, I would think stinging going on.

I thought you was talking about the white dots on the water.

Are you saying that the nems might sitinged it??? I don't think, because the nems aren't that long enough to do it. Between the nem and the Monti there is about 6" of distance.

I was, but not at that distance.
Something is happening though.
Mojo I think it's wondering if your light is strong enough, I wonder also.

How long you been reefing? Just curious because those green palys are fierce. Don't ever try to clean/frag them without PPE and do it outdoors.

I've been reefing since almost 2 years ago, but I had so many SPS that unfortunately I lost when I upgraded my tank because of parameters destabilization.
I don't remember what brand is my light, but tomorrow I will take a picture and I will send it here.
