    Im not sire what is wrong with my open brain. It is receding and its skeloten is easily visible, but i think i know why. Yesturday i was trying to feed it and it would not eat so i continued to try to put the kril in its mouth. It would not eat still. I think i just irritated it a bit. Will it be ok? I cant take a picture now. Any advice? Thanks!

    It could be to do with the feeding and should grow back, but I would also check your alkalinity. Alkalinity swings are the most common thing I've seen kill lps.

    It's odd how that works some times. They seem to like dropping one at a time so we don't notice a trend fast enough.
