Question about star pylops

ttuuk · 03/01/2008, 03:58 PM

I have a green star pylop in my tank for about 2 weeks now and all of a sudden it is not comming out. I have not changed anything in the tank since it was put in. I checked my numbers this afternoon and all were fine, SG 1.025, alk 9, ammo 0 nitrate and nitrite were 0 also, PH is 8.2

I have 4-54 watt T-5 lighting, 100lbs of rock and sand and the tank is about 4 months old. My torch is doing fine and the mushrooms are fine also. I have 2 clowns, purple tang, and some cromis and a 6-line.

Just wondering if pylops do this sometimes or not?

mine do that from time to time I've found that sometimes one of my snails will clean them and they tend to not like it that much normally within a few days they open back up. don't worry to much they're pretty hardy and grow like weeds for me.

Mine do that too, but they still manage to grow like a weed. I have colonies of GSPs all over the tank now.

Don't worry it won't take long and you will have a 90 gallon GSP tank...
