    I posted the other day regarding issues i'm having with my hammerhead, and I am still looking for some help. They are not opening and seem to be becoming weak. Any ideas???

    Is there any nasty brown goop that looks like jelly on or around the polyps?

    checked your previous thread , cant say based on information given exactly what issue is to be honest

    can you get a picture up? or a few pictures
    picture of the affected coral/ corals
    full tank shot

    there may be some clues in the photographs as to what is troubling this coral and other corals

    Can you give a better description? A link to your other thread? Is the coral new? And do you have the odyssea 760watt fixture?
