I'm having a problem....actually two problems...
First, my corals are very unhappy the past few days. Not fully extending, appearing to die back in some small sections. I've checked everything, including Phosphate and Ca, and everything seems pretty good. Nitrates were high (+-100) but I did a 33% water change the other day and they're down to 40 now. Any insights most welcome.
Second problem, My bristle worm population seems to have exploded the last few weeks. What used to be the occaisonal head sticking out of a rock during feedings has now become tons of them boldly coming out and crawling across the sand during feedings. Is this something I should be concerned about and treat? If so , how? If not, maybe this is a normal thing. Any inverts I can get that would consume them?
Regards
Steve
