After some much needed rest I came down to work on hooking the sump up. I then notice a cord behind the stand that was unplugged. There are only 3 cords back there and since the lights and circulation pump are on it was clearly the heater. A quick glance at the thermometer revealed a temperature of 70 degrees. No wonder the coral is all closed up.
At first I thought it was allellopathy but the only real colonies I have are the xenia colonies. The rest are frags. Considering this is a 75 gallon tank and most of these corals are fairly non aggressive except the mushrooms that are like 2 cm in diameter and the cabbage leather. Considering I just finished battling dinos nutrients aren't an issue and even if they got a bit high I'd run the lights on the chaeto longer and it would suck it right up. Thankfully I now have the heater plugged in. It'll take some time but the temperature will come up over the next several hours. That should be enough for the corals to open up again.
