Open-Brain ?

Has anyone else had their open-brain suck up after doing a KH buff dose? I buffed my tank last night and made the mistake of not fully diluting the buffer and some of it made its way into the tank. A lot of my corals close up but all except the open-brain has recovered. Its still pretty closed up at the moment.

brains are very finicky about buffers. i am not surprised that he is still closed up. id wait a bit longer and see what happens

 

Yeah I think I found the problem, he closed up and now my bi-color blenny is picking at him a bit. I guess its time to move him to the fuge for a recovery period.

 

i grabbed a bottle of microvert and and squeezed a bunch into my tank, to realize it wasnt microvert but bottle of alk buffer. i about passed out. my brain stayed closed for 2-3 days, but has made a full recovery

 

Yeah I believe mine would be back open if my Blenny wasn't biting it and spitting out bright green hunks of it. I think when it recovers in my fuge, i will put it back in the main display and it should be fine.

 

ha, yeah thats not helping at all. good luck

 

Ok my open brain is starting to make a nice recovery. I got home from work and its starting to open up again. I love having a fuge for corals to recover in!!!

 

Congrats, it looks like you need to have conversation with the blennie.

 

Yeah no kidding, hes my favorite fish in the tank, but still not cool to chew on my open brain. I guess I will let it make a full recovery in the fuge and not freaking be an idiot and dilute my buffer better next time. He didn't seem to bother it when it was open.
