help with clove polyps

[topher]

my clove polyps that i bought last week are falling apart. can anyone tell me why?

[shrimpchips]

Because they're dead

But if a small amount of tissue does survive, there is the off chance that it will grow back

[topher]

ok let me re phase the question, anyone know why they may be dieing? are they sensitive too something? i have mh lights and water quality is good.

The generally like lower flow areas, with lower amounts of light.

If it's falling apart and you just got, it's probably a shipping/acclimation issue.

Not trying to hijack. But I really wish I had your problem. I have the brownie type that I have been trying to kill. I cant see any of my rocks that are exposed to the lighted areas anymore. They have taken over but my corals do grow over them. I have lots of light and lots of flow so I don't really agree with the low flow and low light.
