how long has your tank been running and what are your lights?

 

[mr.clownfish]

it been running for about 5 or 6 months now. and my light are 2 36 watts and 1 blue florescent light (i dont know the watt)
i give it Kent Marine Micro vert for liquid food and formula 1

 

[ibew41]

lights might be a little on the low side

 

[mr.clownfish]

i dont think its from the lights cause ive only had it for one day.
i think it was just pooping. what do there poops looks like?

 

[mr.clownfish]

anyway never mind cause it died.

i used some reef vitamins. for some of my mushrooms when i came back in the room i saw it was shriveled up and its tenticals shrank

That does not mean it is dead. They "deflate" quite often. It will die if you do not upgrade your lighting though.
