Posted	marine polyps
13-11-2006 19:36 by tomdoc	Hi there, Yesturday i brought some marine polyps from my lfs, when i brought them they were all closed up btw thease are a collony on them on some rock. I added them to my tank and they were still all closed up .. and 2day they are still closed up any idea of whats going on ?
13-11-2006 19:46 by mikk	sulking?seems that some do tend to do this,should settle in in a day or two
13-11-2006 19:48 by tomdoc	ok they are under 2x Marine Blues and 2x marien white - t8 tubes i have placed them near the top ? is this ok
13-11-2006 20:04 by mikk	need t5 lighting at a minimum really preferably halides
13-11-2006 20:16 by stevo	ok, certain polyps can live under t8 with no problem, halides are not a must for them
13-11-2006 20:19 by mikk	t8 are not ideal tho really stevo
13-11-2006 20:39 by tomdoc	my lfs sed thease would be fine at the top of the tank under t8s they had them under t8s aswell
13-11-2006 21:12 by stevo	t8's are not ideal no but if he's got 4 of them and its at the top of the tank he shudnt have too many problems. how often do you do a salt water change tomdoc??
13-11-2006 22:38 by heros hero	try moving them halway down the reef. My polyps wouldn't open up at the top of my tank so moved them to a more central position and they've been good as gold since
13-11-2006 22:54 by muddy	ive had ecactly the same problem ive had mine in four days now they are still not coming out ive tried moving them and getting them out of the flow but nothing is working yet i am leaving them for a while to see if they come out of there own accord i will be leaving them in for the next week but then they will be removed just incase.
