Hey all,

So my partner has just sent me this photo:

Whats going on? Last night the coral was FINE! Going really really well. Though now.... its like this... Also, the light has been on for about 45 minutes...

Also, I note that the stromb snail is very very nearby - so is it likely that its walked over and the torch has therefore srunk back in?

 

[Sam Parker]

wouldn't worry yet, they will sulk if something has upset them. How long have you had the torch? I'd say it'll open up again in the next couple hours (pending whatever was upsetting it is no longer doing so!)

Thanks Sam! :)

Is that a crab hanging out nearby? It might've irritated it/ had a feed.

That crab, is a crab shell - It believe it was the product of a sloughing or a slaughtering... either one, not too sure yet...

Keep us updated, Im guessing by the time your home it will be fine though :)

Thanks Sam, Here's hoping.

The servers are down at work today so it is a slow boring day!

Who needs servers down to have a slow boring day ? :(

 

[Sam Parker]

Our servers are up and I can assure you, it's still boring....

I got home and the coral was FINE.

But the stromb was stuck in the corner. :|

She's so clumsy. But cute.

So all is good!

Thanks everyone! Oh and our serves at work were on well before I finished work :(

I'll trade you. I'm busier than a 1 armed paper hanger in a typhoon.

I think the coral was taking a crap thats why it was like that in the first place.

Oh my god! My Hammer was doing massive poo streams the other day! It just sat there crapping little streamers of it all over the tank, redecorating the tank with its faecal decorations. It looked pretty darn pleased with itself. Luckily it was just before a water change...

I have a Hammer and Frogspawn (cutest little baby frogspawn you've ever seen) and they shrink up like that every night and usually take a little while to wake up in the late morning when the lights come on. Corals are just drama queens and just like to have a sook every so often. My trachy is doing that today and tomorrow he will be an amorphous blob again. Mr. Jiggles (my heliofungia) likes to do a Puppetry of the Tentacles thing and tries making different shapes with his tentacles as if he's at a kids party making balloon animals in an obscene way. (My partner always worries about it but then he turns into a blubbery jumping castle again and all is well...)

These colourful bags of water sure are fascinating. XD <3

Omg they are little drama queens!!

They sook all the time I agree! My toadstool (toady) is a bit bigger than a mans fist when full open and then when I accidentally touch it.

BANG.

down to the size of a 50 cent piece. Haha.

Corals remind me of Oscars, actually. Change something, move something, stars aligned the wrong way - they lay on the bottom of the tank and sulk petulantly lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA. THATS HILARIOUS!

the cichlids I used to keep would just think "oh well back to work" and would start mining out their caves.

I got home and it is sooking again. The stormb has been teasing it.
