| Ok, I think this needs to be.considered a emergency. Friday I conducted a water change of 2 gallons in my 6 gallon fluval edge. This has been my regimen for the last year or so and this is the first time I have ever had some illl effects. It started out as 1 of the 3 heads not inflating like it normally does. The other 2 staying smaller but not much different. Now all 3 heads are much smaller and their mouths are open. I used same salt, salinity and tempature that I have always used. Everything else seems fine except the frogspawn. Please help with any ideas. |

| I just did a search on the internet and found someone else with the same problem .. turned out they had an ammonia spike due to a dead snail. Have you tested your ammonia levels? |

First thing is to test for the basics so your not trying to figure something out blind. ------------- It's Not a Hobby It's an Obsession 150&210 Gallons of Madness and. Sanity! 801-850-4915 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65135&title=builderofdreams-feedback-post |

That must be one small tank! Has your lighting or flow changed at all? Any chance a fish has taken a liking to this coral? ------------- A government strong enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have. |

| 2 clowns have been hosting in it for the past month and 3 sexy shrimp hang out around it as well. I've had the tank and the frogspawn for well over a year and never had any problems with the frogspawn. No changes in flow. I added leds about 2 months ago. The frogspawn has been doing great. |

I had a big hammer that would sometimes do that. One or two heads would shrivel and act mad, then in a day or two they would be back to normal. Watch it for a day or two and I bet its back to normal. ------------- See my house: www.eclecticvictorian.com |

| Lost 1 of my new sexy shrimp today. Frogspawn is still much smaller with mouths open. |

| Frogspawn seems to be bouncing back. Looks about half inflated but heading in the right direction. |

| Not noticing much difference. Could the clowns hosting in it be causing the problems? |

| Could be the Sexy Shrimp picking at it. If they are not getting enough food they are known to pick at coral. http://sexyshrimp.com/feeding.html" rel="nofollow - http://sexyshrimp.com/feeding.html |
