red wines are shrinking

[mfinn]

What do you do when your red wines start getting smaller?
They are still opening up, just getting smaller.

welcome to the club....lol :hammer:

 

[mfinn]

They were doing great,, for a while, then...... :(

 

[FateX8]

yeah mine did great for a while too but only had 3 TINY polyps ~1/8" when open and they finally made it to 1/4" but then a couple of weeks and 1 by 1 they melted...
i hate expensive stuff!

Yep this is a stinky club! :(

 

[Chris2222000]

Had the same problem here.... :(

 

[MarvinsReef]

had really good success with mine before.. at one time, I had over 125 polyps with 3 different mini colonies... but I'm down to a 2 polyps frag I receive back from a local reefer.. hope I'll have the same success as before... so far so good... :)

just for kicks.. :D

 

[Who Dah?]

GORGEOUS shot, Marvin!

GORGEOUS shot, Marvin!

thanks J... it takes a while to get 'em settled but once they do, watch 'em take off... :D

 

[MarvinsReef]

here's some of the other frags I had.. :)

 

[mfinn]

That is nice.
I'm wondering if the problem with my red wines has anything to do with adding vitamin C?

 

[Azurel]

They did great for me till I lost 90% of Zs and Ps I had........I don't even like looking at pictures of zoanthids any more....


I would try more flow and lower light like Marv said.....

 

[MarvinsReef]

any update? hopefully there's progress... :)

 

[mfinn]

About the same.
I did move them to a higher flow area with some shade.

 

[reefermadness]

Im noticing a little irritation on my some of my Z's and P's. I dipped one in TPMCC, it reopened after a day or so....

Same here.

 

[dfurbee]

Same thing happend to mine :(

 

[benihana]

if they "melted" away, you may want to check for Nudibranch's. I had the same thing happen with my PPE's and AOG's, so I FW dipped them and found a Nudi. I got some Flatworm exit, and nuked them all....it is the greatest Zoa Nudi treatment!
