Any idea what is happening to my scolly?

[tdam]

My scolly seems to be deteriorating in a certain area. Not sure of my water parameters. But everything else is doing well in the tank. I have another scolly in the same baic area that is doing just fine.

tdam... no advice but it doesn't look good. I had three scolys for over two years. then within two weeks all were gone. Nothing else in the tank was affected, and all water params were good. Something wasn't right, but I could not find it.

I blamed his tube nem... That he has 2 inches away.

 

[tdam]

the tube is 2.5 inches away sir. haha. but seriously, i have never seen the tube's tentacles touch it.

Try moving it away and looking at it in a month u stubborn man.

 

[tdam]

that's fine. I can do that. But just wondering if anyone had any other better ideas dawg.

Edit: and for the record, if someone wants to take a chance on it, i would let it go for $50. Paid 4 times that.

Told u I trade coral for it.

 

[tdam]

your stuff is too high dollar. i would get like a millimeter of some high end piece in the trade.

Lol. U be surprise

those Tube Anem's can get mighty large, reaching, and aggressive at night!

Do you feed the scolly? The same thing happened to another member here and he ended up selling it. I bought it and feed it about twice a week. About a month later it bounced back looking better then ever.

no, i don't feed it. i could try. small pieces of shrimp sound good?

 

[hnguyen]

Yeah, that's how I started to feed mines when I first got it. A few mysis whenever I can for the first few days. After that, the feeding tentacles will start to come out on their own at night when they lights go out. That's when I started to feed bigger food like silversides. Now, my scolly will take half of a silverside at a time, even a whole one too if I feel like feeding it that much.

No doubt that's a sting. The one I sold to Hnguyen looked the same after a acan fell on it. As he said, they can be nursed back to health by feeding.

 

[tdam]

sweet. i will move it. (my offer is still out there. someone can have it for $50)

 

[thanh386]

I offer 25!!
