Sunburst nem shriveled

[Gonefishin]

I got this sunburst bta two days ago 3/14/14 and it looked healthy and now 3/16/14 is looks as it's dying

My water chemistry is good

ph 8.6

nitrares and nitrites 0

phosphate 0

alk 10

calcium 430

im running uv sterilizer and bio pellet reactor as well

What can cause this and what can I do to help him?

his mouth is wide open and I know that's a sign of death

Did u acclimate to lighting? They are ever sensitive to led and lighting change. Any clowns hoasting it?

 

[Gonefishin]

They were under mh at aquamart and u had them under kessil 150 for two days. Now they are under my Evo led. Do you think it's dying? Should I take him out?

 

[Munch]

You might wanna provide him something to shelter him self under, if your lights are much brighter he has nowhere to go...

 

[Gonefishin]

No clowns either

We'll I'd shorten photo period and dim the lights to 35-40% and "uh and them under kessil 150". Was not me just so u know.

Ok ill cover him. His mouth is wide open though. He is still stuck to the black basket he is in though.

 

[Gonefishin]

That came out wrong I had them under kessil 150

+1 LEDs are much more intense and if it's in a basket then ya now where to go but down.

Also brown slime is coming out his mouth too

 

[Exotic Anemones]

Its spitting out the zoax algae to adjust to the brighter lights aka bleaching get it out of direct light let it crawl to light when its ready

 

[Gonefishin]

Just did that thanks!

 

[Exotic Anemones]

Aquamart runs 20k mine had a mild adjustment from 20k to 14k also hope he recovers gl!

 

[Gonefishin]

Thanks I hope he does too or else $380 down the drain!

 

[Exotic Anemones]

Also its a lemon drop not a sunburst

 

[Exotic Anemones]

I lost a acid rain bta to light acc sucked real bad flushing $200 down tubes

 

[Gonefishin]

That's what my buddy just told me too a lemon drop not a true Colorado sunburst like what aquamart sold me. I covered with a rock and now his mouth is closed. Seems like a good sign!
