polyps?

[Sprayin70]

I just added a colony of polyps to my nano and i was wondering how long they would stay closed also i ditched the damsels and added a small clown. and about 2 lbs of live rock.

I added some button polyps a few weeks ago and I think they were open within an hour or so... they get cranky if my hand is near them in the tank, but open back up after 5 - 10 minutes. ....though I wouldn't worry too much if it takes them longer... even a day. Especially if the new LR needs to do a tiny cycle or something (I assume it was cured).

i agree. my girl is mad because i got rid of them. crazy girl
my clown is fine and my polyp is also doing great. i keep my mini powerhead on and i think it is too much for the clown because he hides until i feed him then he will return to the rocks. will he be fine.

thanks.

If you just recently added the clown then I'd say it's just adjusting... might take a few days for it to realize it has full rein.

Don't worry about the power head --- Most Clowns like to play in the flow of a power head. Might take him awhile to get used to the tank and start comming out.

my polyps are fine now also my clown is happy. i have a red sea nano filter running my tank. so i turned my powerhead off, the filter has alot of water flow. i added a new coral a xenia 2 stalks on 1 rock. looks nice. i almost bought a candy coral and a brain coral they were red and green. they were beautiful but the guy told me i do not have enough light to get good color. anyway thanks.
