To give here everyone a little backstory, this has NOT been one of my better Christmases, reefwise. Early Christmas morning, I awoke to discover that one of my oldest and largest acros has begun to 'rtn' for no apparent reason. The timing of this crisis made my wife understandibly upset as we were expecting a house full of guests and I was now staring at several hours of tankwork that had to be addressed immediately.
And, of course there was the matter of my 5 year old wanting to open her presents ("Where DOES this kind of selfishness come from?"
)
Well, everything got done and things are slowly getting back to a more normal pace. But apparently, in the chaos of the last few days, I hadn't noticed something: About 90% of the Majanoes I had infesting my tank are inexplicably gone! I haven't added any new fish lately (and I've never seen any of my current fish pick at them) nor have my water parameters changed. The large acro was fragged OUTSIDE of the tank although the salvaged frags themselves are back in it as of now.
Could the 'stress' of the acro somehow affect the Majanoes in this manner? Is it coincidence? Or am I being 'set-up' for some gigantic Majano spawing event that will cause another tank crisis...on, say, New Years Eve? And lastly, has anything like this ever happened to any of you? Any first hand feedback here would be greatly appreciated.
