I connected up my phosphate reactor last week. During the time I was away in June, my wife and son did slightly overfeed, I got cayno on the sand, not too bad and some algae started on some rocks. What is funny, it is especially the lower rocks. Less light areas. My back glass always had algae growth, that I leave for the herivorous snails.
Anyway, connected the phosphate reactor, and since then, my pincushions pulled back and does not extend at all. And today the big one (side plate size) is sloped forward. I did blow some water over it, and some fine white stuff did blow off it. It did pull back on reaction to the extra water movement. Everything else in the tank is fine. The big green brain coral looks good, where a week ago it was pulled back and looked bad. Actually was contemplating on removing it back to Lanzo for it to recover. But now, the brain is 100%. And the Pincushion is down.
Or do pincushions sulk for a week?
