What's wrong with my Devils Hand

[BMMMW]

Hey all, I need some help please. All other coral and water parameters are good. It has been this way for at least 4 weeks. Has its ups and downs, loses a finger here and there.

What type of light and flow do you have it in?

It's under the stock light that comes with the flu value Evo, I believe 11k white plus I added one strip of 4 LED's that are 456nm I believe and another white strip with 4 LED'S. Aqueon 600 pump I believe is the model.

But do you have it in a high light and flow zone? If not, try giving it more light and flow

 

[BMMMW]

Ok, I'll move it higher and closer to return. Hopefully that helps. Thanks Ray!

Your welcome :D Softies like that like a good amount of flow and a moderate to high amount of light. Don't make the change extremely drastic.

Might help to pick up a flow pump, mine is good for 30 gallon tank and ran me about 30.00

The Zoanthids next to the piece lead me to believe the piece has enough light, the cyano next to the piece leads me to believe you need more flow.

I would add a small power head.

I can't find anything small enough. This is a 5 gallon tank on my desk. Suggestions? I did buy the biggest pump that fits in the original pump chamber.

Mine does this every now and then usually when it's slogging off its skin it's growing when it comes back it is always bigger not saying that's what's happening but mine does this exact thing ever month or so then opens back up
