Help with Sarcphyton please.

[The Pilot]

My sarcphyton soft coral is currently only extending its' polyps at night
nowadays nothing has changed recently, other corals are ok but the sarco
does not come out when the lights are on any more. It used to have brilliant
polyp extensions.
Anyone know what is wrong with it, has been going on for a few weeks now.
TIA
Iain.

[:-^-Shame-^-:]

Mine run their own show...........

Some times they are out for days and weaks - and then a month can pass by
whitout any polyps seen at all...........

Patiance is what i would recommend :-D

Is it throwing off slime? Sometimes mine will retract as it sheds it's
slime coat. You may also want to take a very close look at it as there are
several snails and nudibranch that will feed on sarco's and irritate them.
Also look for any blemishes or brown spots as this may indicate the presence
of disease.

Good luck,
Andrew
