Reefing newb
I've had my 24 gallon Aquapod set up for about 8 months now, started as fish only and switched over to reef about 2 months ago....
For the past 2 months, I've had a snowflake eel, 2 turbo snails, 2 emerald crabs, a gorgonian branch, and a yellow polyp colony, and quite a bit of liverock.
Hadn't had any problems, and then... today I got a bubbletip anemone and a maroon clown from my local fish store. I also got a small piece of green star polyps from a friend. Floated and acclimated all 3 of them properly. The clown fish is looking VERY stressed out (but he did eat), and the green star polyps wont open. They (the green polyps) did touch the anemone for a couple minutes, could it have been damaged by the anemone? The yellow polyps have been dying off slowly (mainly because the emerald crabs are picking at them) but they don't look too healthy...
Tested the water for ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, pH, alkalinity, and salinity. Did a 20% water change. Everything seems ok.... any ideas what am I doing wrong here?! :frustrat:
