![]() Man thats harsh. I wonder if something could have gotten on the rock with the new palys, somewhere between taking them out of the old tank and putting them in yours. I can't really suggest anything other than w/c and carbon, which you're already doing. May be a large 80% w/c. Might buy you some time until you figure out the problem.
Oh and I had a feather duster vacate on me back when I first started poisoning fish and coral ( I couldn't keep anything alive for the first 6 months or so). I remember reading they will do this sometimes when things aren't going well. The idea is to bail out of the tube and let the current take them to greener pastures.

thats the only thing i can figure is some sort of bacteria has found its way to my tank on the paly rock i got, im reading all i can on it now i dont think its brown jelly as its affecting more than lps and theres no signs of any slime besides what i seen last night from the palys, plus its obviously affecting fish and inverts too..... and even now while im looking at my tank im noticing my clown and chromis are hiding and only come out when they see me prob thinking its feeding time but when im hidden they hide too. ive decided to take a turkey baster and suck off around each coral and see if it helps by removing something i cant see. i really was hoping the water change this morning would have helped but it doesnt look like it. sooooo......ive been doing this for a long time and ive never seen something so weird like this happen to my own tank as i pay close attention to what happens in there.....so now im thinking dips is there anything i can dip my remaining corals in that would kill off any bacteria i cant see if it is bacteria or something similar but wont do any harm if it isnt??? im doing a bunch of water tests now and ill do another water change again i still find it weird that my nems are looking better than ever and those palys are out full open while the rest of my zoas are closed shut.....

![]() Can we see a picture of the Palys?
If I remember correctly this is a little tank? Isn't it like 20 gallons? I would guess ANY coral the size of a football sliming in a tank that size is going to cause trouble. That's a lot of slime! I've had a ton of zoos and Palys and have fragged a few ![]() |

it is a 20g its 30 x 12 x 12 .....the palys are a mix of blue and green together and is about the size of say 10l x 5w x5h and around 400 heads or more and was given to me by another reefer who doesnt have any issues in his tank,and when i called him to say what is happening he is at a blank as well.it was def alot of slime just putting them in there so thats why i thought the problem had to be from the palys i put in there last night. i figure they got mad and slimed all over my tank possibly even more after i went to bed. my shrimp and snails and sps were the worst hit and then my lps is straggling along while my blenny passed away sometime today.... ive done all my tests and nothing shows as i figured it wouldnt and my elklegance looks like shes about to go ive done another water change but its got all ite tentacles pulled in and is slightly inflated and my brain is still shriveled up. sorry i dont have a camera yet or i would have posted pics in my journal ill see if i can get something together tonight off the misses when she comes over off her phone ![]()
