Yellow Polyps wasting away

[mj32]

Hi All,

Had 3 pieces of rocks with yellow polyps on - and all are just slowly wasting away. ie not opening for a while and then just disolving to nowt.

Is there something i'm missing for these?

Other polyps and zoos are doing fine - xenia / cloves growing at a good rate, leathers / mushies look good.

Tried high/low flow and light... kinda stuck now for ideas :rolleyes:

they like a medium flow and med/high lighting. these polyps often appear fine for about 5 months and then recede to a couple of polyps and regrow again..... thats why theyre sorta unpopular now ;)

The yellow ones require meaty feeding, use a turkey baster to gently blow some brine shrimp etc over them.....

I've heard target feeding with some meaty foods it best with these. Cylopeze should be good for them

100% feed feed feed, i started out with these had the same problem but now i feed and they multiply rapidly, turn pumps of sparya brine over them let it fall into there path and watch them grow, good flow and light helps as well but i think mainly food.

If any polyps open i will try it - 90% or more are just shut down in 2 days
