I havent seen any polyps on my greenstar now for 4 days.
I have searched the forums and found a few posts where this does occour sometimes for 2 or 3 days.
Does anybody know what causes this ?
Is there anyting I should look for to verify it is ok ?
(I can post a pic if it would help to see for yourself)
I have been monitoring my water chemistry over the past few days a little more closley.(Testing daily and all readings have come up as expected)
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance

This the ID i came up with from
Jeffs Nudibranch Site
tritoniid

[hr]
member of a family of nudibranchs (family name: tritonniidae, suborder Dendronotoida) which feed exclusively on soft corals.
This is an example of a nudibranch that does not advertise itself with bright colors-- instead it uses protective coloration to disguise itself on the reef by blending in with its background. This particular specimen is only about 1/2 inch in length.
