SPS slimming after WC. Normal or am I doing something wrong?

Just did my WC and it seems like all my SPS are slimming with the Purple Monti. Digi going hardcore with it. Normal? If not any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

I do 15% WC with the temp and salinity exactly the same as the water inside the tank.

Thanks.

 

Mine always do it. Some more than others. If all your levels match, it will minimize it. Seems like you are already doing that though. They are probably just reacting to different levels of Calcium, Magnesium, and alk.

 

+1 on above

are you doing 15% for a parameter issue reason?
because if your parameters are where they should be, you could consider reducing to a 5% water change weekly and this will mean there would be less new water coming in and thus less parameter difference

Happens all the time to me and my SPS....it happens to the ones that get stuck out of the water for a little while.

I usually spalsh them every few mintues with water to keep them wet....I find that helps.

 

They should if they are exposed to air.
