Hello,

I've had this Devil's Hand for a couple months now, and recently I've noticed that parts of it have begun to sort of droop on its side. Polyps are still extending, but it looks weaker than it used to overall. Parameters have remained stable, but I'm thinking of doing a partial water change to see if that could help. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?

Thanks.

Two things because it looks great. One its starting to get ready to shed. It gets a real shiny film on it than sheds it all off.

2 it's starting to split. It will develop holes that will spread and eventually it will separate.

You leather looks good. No reason to stress

It's been a couple weeks. Have the drooping fingers dropped off and formed frags?

Lots of chaotic flow. They seem to respond well to this IME. GL.
