6 Months?

Wow.

What's your water like? (A/N/N/Alk/Ca/PO4/Mg). How much do you change how
often?
How much flow have they got?
What fish are there, or is it just the clown?
Have you tried feeding phyto (live or bottled)?

Hi Mark, thanks for responding. Do they really look OK to you? They have
not shown any color for 6 months, and
have stayed shriveled in all that time too.

They look fine to me.

Probably your lights were brighter than they were used too. Don't worry,
my riccordia is less than 12 inches from a 250w MH and grows fine.

If the colour is a bit weak check the iodine and magnesium levels.

Mark.

I just posted this on Reef Central, and thought I'd post it here too for
any ideas. Thanks for any help.
purchased these orange and purple rics from Roe's about 6 months ago.
They arrived in beautiful shape. I put them in a 20 gallon tank I have
had set up for about 2 years, with a BTA, a small clown, and a scarlet
reef hermit. This tank is lit by 110 watts of PC. Within a week they
looked like this picture. I asked for some opinions here, and was told
it looks like they were "light stunned", and to move them to lower light
right away. I put them in another tank with Normal Output light for a
couple weeks, but they still looked the same. I moved them back to the
PC tank for a month, but no difference. They have now been in the Normal
Output tank for 3 months. They never have gottten bigger or smaller in
either tank, and have looked just like this for months. All the other
shrooms and polyps are perfect. Any chance to bring them back? Here's a
pic.
