Corals all retracted!

01rs25 · 10/04/2007, 10:10 PM

Just did my weekly waterchange of about 10 gallons. And all of my corals are retracted. I did move my loc line, could the change in flow patterns stress them out at all.

What can I do to help.

I'd check the water parameters, to make sure that the water for the change had the right amount of salt. Also, how big is the system?

Flow pattern change could temporarly cause corals to retract. But more the likely its what bertoni said.

How'd you pull the water out. When I use the aquarium vaccuum and get into the display it naturally affects some of my corals and polyps.
