Update

Hey LARK members,

Life happens and we all get distracted, occupied, and busy. Curious if anyone wants to share some photos or give an update on how their tanks are going.

Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish seizure?

I got a new Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish last Friday. It exhibited what it seemed would be called typical behavior for a Lionfish new to its environment. It hid under rocks for a day or two. Then it began to show itself more hanging out on rocks and tank n corners in plane site. Its color looked a bit washed out at first but gradually came back. It hadn't really been eating for me though. Although I heard this was also typical. Yesterday I returned to the LFS where I purchased it to see what they had been feeding it. They said they fed frozen Mysis Shrimp. Which is what I had been putting in. Tonight I looked in the tank and saw the Lionfish. Its color was especially striking. It was very dark and rich browns and oranges, like a Monarch Butterfly. No sooner did I comment to my wife about this when it all of the sudden went crazy! It swam around the back of my tank faster than I had ever seen it move. It continued at that speed back to the front, reached the middle front of the tank, swam straight up then straight back down with its mouth open Kamikaze style straight into the sand bed. It continued to force its open mouth into the sand bed for a few seconds before it died, its body standing straight up as stiff as a board. What could have caused this?

Light color, effect on SPS polyps?

Just wondering has anybody see effects on SPS polyps when it comes to the color, or Kelvin rating of LEDs or T5s?

The reason I ask is I have several SPS in my tank that have their polyps extended most of the time, while I have others that are maybe 50% extended, and some that have none.

So say if you have a deep water SPS and you exposed it to a 10k light, would it have a effect on how far it would extend its polyps? Or will it only effect the color of the coral?

Thanks

Mid week Wednesday

Good morning to all our TRT Friends, and.we're half way there WEDNESDAY! A chilly start this morning, 37, but will climb into the low 60's. Pumpkin pie to go with our coffee this morning......got to keep the taste buds on their toes. Looking at a half day today, then heading over to Harrah's Casino for a Marine trade show for work with the Family and spending the night there. Hope all had a good, and safe night last night, and there were no 'tricks'. Wish all the very best today, and have fun,
