Frogspawn

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?

Yes check all params, I have had my frogspawn do this and they have been fine but you never know.

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.

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

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
