    Default Skirts looking tangled

    This is probably (hopefully) nothing, but its odd looking so keeps catching my eye...

    Why are the skirts looking like they have a bad hair day?

    Is it because the zoas have grown so close together? They didn't always look this way.

    I've changed bulbs, started using 2 part, and adjusted salinity after testing with a refractometer. (Gasp! I'll never use a swing arm again.)

    So with all these changes, I'm watching things closely and being a little paranoid. Some of the other changes are explainable with the salinity swing and light change, but the skirts looking gnarly is a weird one.

    You will find stuff like this from time to time. I don't think there is anything wrong...I had a colony of Blue Hornets, that had several polyps with 2 mouths...pretty cool as they looked like the #8...

    Looks like they trying to grab food.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    It's because that colony is getting too big. Mine come off in clumps; sometimes just a ball of zoas. I dont think it's anything worth worrying about!

    Psh. That means I have to frag soon, huh. I've been dreading that. Not so good with a blade... and even worse with glue.
