Too close?

[HowardJ02]

Ever since I moved my frogspawn to where my torch was and moved the torch to the sandbed, the frogspawn has not come out all the way. It's been 2 weeks.

Is the torch too close to the frogspawn maybe? It can't physically touch, but I didn't know if it could let off some sort of sting potential?

If not, I'm not sure what's up with my frogspawn. Everything else is doing great with new growth.

you don't have a hammer coral, the one on the sand bed is a torch coral... hammer corals don't sting frogspawns and vice versa, but torch corals sting anything...

I knew that! Not sure what I was thinking..

haha okay just making sure, uhm in the picture they don't look too close to me but idk how far the sweeper tentacle can reach, but i would move the frog spawn..

I wouldnt think so, It must be another factor.

Brain fart.. too many things on my mind.

That's really as far as the torch tentacles reach..

The torch has split into two heads and my parameters are in spec. (I only have a test kit for ammonia, nitrates, nitrites and pH, though.)

But since everything else seems to be doing ok growth wise, I could only think of that?

depending on the light source there could be more light in that spot and he doesn't like it??? too much flow ? hammers and frogspawn like lower flow maybe even up to moderate

 

[HowardJ02]

They're T5's so I would think it would be pretty uniformed lighting?

I will try to move them back to the sandbed.

i agree, uhm maybe put it farther away in lower flow and lower light ?

Will do. Thanks for the input!
