All polyps closed....anemone dying?
Nothing opened today....zoa's, sand polyps, couple of little pieces of sps. Nothing in the tank has changed since yesterday....except the cony has moved yet again and is shriveled. Could it be dying and polluting the tank? TIA, Nancy

Pictures would help a lot with know, but a lot of times things just stay closed. What are your levels? Also, the condy shrivels when it is expelling food so that could explain it being small.

84 is really not that high. Its getting to the high range but still ok.
I would say that if you normally keep the tank at the 78..79 degree range, then the 84 was a shock to everything. They were not used to the temp. The PH is a tad high. 8.1 / 8.3 is the preferred. Here is a great link to water prams....by Randy Holmes Farley. You should copy & save this link. The article is a Must Read.

PH is a little on the high side....whats your salinity? I assume you lost water due to higher temp....
