So I just took a look at my tank for the first time today and the first thing I noticed?
Tons of the little aiptasias in my tank are gone. Yes I have a peppermint shrimp (male). but the aiptasia has been a consistent presence for months now. So why did the shrimp all the sudden decide to go bananas all over the live rock?? Well I did leave one powerhead off overnight, and my guess is that with the flow reduced the shrimp scavenged new areas.
But the other weird thing?? My Urchin lost (or appears) all it's spines!!!! I think it's dead or dying... but yesterday it was fine. Why would my urchin die the same night that a ton of aiptasia disappeared?
What else did I do differently? I put some filter floss in the sump for the first time in many months... I just wanted to clear up some particles in the water...
So did my filter floss kill the urchin? Some sort of pollutant on the filter floss?? Did the Peppermint shrimp kill the urchin? Have you heard of that before??
This is weird!!!!!!!
