I do have a powerhead in there and i moved him to an area of more flow. And in a 3g tank you can put like frags of zoas and alot of things! They are fun, for $40 they pretty nice!

[blackjacktang]

lol ohh lordy l am certanly not the smart one today

 

[monsinour]

if you change the flow, maybe raise it a little to get more light too. Water does seem fine.

The whole back of my 120 is infested with kenya trees. i pull out several good sized stalks about every other weeka nd bring them in and give them to my LFS who gives them away free to customers with a purchase of something else.
Fastest growing thing in my tank hands down.

Its fine, mine just came out of the same thing.
I have 5 frags of kenya + the main colony in my tank, and they seem to take turns being down in the dumps. The main colony just woke up for me, it was sad for a week, and the week before that the same thing happend to a frag. Now another frag is sad lol.. its wierd

 

[katsafados]

Now that I look at the main colony closer, looks like the kenya almost molted? Has skin shedding off it... wierd

 

[blackjacktang]

its like there depressed then they take antidepressents and then they come back...very weird

Mine does the same thing, once the lights are off for a little bit and in the morning it looks like it has limp $**$ syndrome. Then once the lights come on for a little bit it perks right up.
