HELP ON LPS!!!
My inventory list is kinda long but here is the gist of whats happening...all my lps corals are closing and wont come out even at night or for light nor for food. The fox coral then the frogspawn then the torch in a 2 week period. they are alive but they wont come out know. nothing happened that I know of and now nothing will open. if they died my ammonia would start to spike and there is no sign of die off. I have kept close eyes on them so I am sure my coral beauty isn't the prob cause I have never seen him nip at anything but the mysis shrimp that he adorse.I have also...deep breathe
1 long knose butterfly fish
1 Coral beauty
2 firefish bobies
1 bi color seudo chromis
1 ocellaris clown for some reason
1 sleeper goby
1 pearly jawfish
1 yellow tang
1 small unkown fish that doesn't do much
1 chili cactus coral that is fine but weeps
6 small hermits
6 turbo snails
2 feather dusters
3 very small curly anemones
2 large emerald hermits
1 stag horn hermit (stays in radius of only like 5 in)
small polyp colony
1 fox coral (1st not to open)
1 open brain doing really well
1 large torch 3rd to close
1 med branching frogspawn
2 leathers
pencil sea urchin
1 medusa LPS
3 sand sifting sea stars
1 pumping xenia still open and budding
all LPS at least 6 in apart 220w of power compact
did really well for a long time then just started to close.
tried direct feeding but didn't help tried moving them.
My system is a 100g protien with fuge and a 180 bio wheel penguin filter
all in yes a small 55 gal. the stats are perfect no ammonia spikes that I have seen and I feed everything well. a mixture of my own filter and lps food that works wonders. I also have 1 electric scallop doing fine in the back. feed mysis and blend for everyone and they all get along except the seudo that bullys the sleeper goby or sand sifting. Ran out of ideas. every and anything from pros would be nice. thanks.
as much info as possible please!!!! desperate if you can't tell already
