      Scoly care help

      First one that I have owned and it is the only thing in my tank not doing well. I have tried high and low light. I have tried high and low flow and what ever mixture of those possible. Parameters are good. I’m just baffled at this point

      Joey, I’ve had luck with my scoly with low light and low flow. I also feed it once or twice a week. Once you move it to a location let it be, don’t mess with it because it has to acclimate at that spot. So start it off with low flow, low light and leave it there for two weeks to see how it does. Feed it once or twice a week at night when the feeders are out.

      Thanks everyone. I set it in low light and low flow and fed last night. I’m not going to touch it and hope for the best. Gotta love the saltwater game

      Update: just about fully recovered. Thanks for the input! It sounds bad but I enjoy when things go wrong because it forces me to learn a lot more about the animals!
