yellow polys

[ah_d3x]

3 weeks ago i bought a rock full of yellow polys and another full of buttons..

now the yellow polys seems to strink... and most of them doesn't open up...

while my buttons r still doing well...

wat has happened?

my water conditions r alrite..

Maybe it is a lighting / current issue.

I also have bad experience with yellow polyps. They always die off after some times whereas my buttons are still alright. So I believe buttons are less demanding so that they can survive better.

Bro, maybe they dunno how to answer ur question leh...

I also know nuts about yellow polyps... only kept them once b4.... and when they die, I didn't replace them...

Yellow polyps need to be kept in current areas and will benefit from feeding with mysis or brine shrimp...you will see then growing.

Me had the opposite problem!!!! My yellow polys open up once I put inside my

tank but my button nvr open up.

I place my yellow polys near the water surface & @ high current flow area.

Just hear that my button problem could b due to high nitrate in my tank???

SIGH........

[Clownfish]

try placing them in the lower stream... the area where usually ur fish food will reside... they will catch the food themselves... as for lightings... they do need gd lightings too...

maybe u can check your nitrate.

should be less than 10 for reef tank.

high nitrate will not kill fish but will kill yr coral slowly over time.
