Affects from Blastomussa on Palys? help

Jonviviano · 09/08/2011, 02:50 PM

So my Palys have been splitting like crazy in my small tank, but in the last week or so they havent seemed to open up at all. Keeping there small "eye lashes" curled up. These polyps are located within about 1/2 inch of my Blastomussa frag which is flourishing. Could my Blasto be releasing some kind of defense? there is a Kenya tree that is on the opposite side of the blasto that has no ill affects at all. Any ideas?

Lps doesnt usually have to much chemical warfare just stinging tenticles usually. Check at night to see if (doubt it) the blasto has long sweeper tenticle out touching the palys.

It's more likely that your Kenya tree is releasing toxins than the blasto.
