Can you Fish in Kenya?

Urgent fish question!! need answers now! 10 points!?

• K, I have a frogspawn coral and a kenya tree coral, in a 80 gallon SW tank. I have a yellowtailed damsel, 2 false percula clowns, a yellowtang, a foxface, and a fire fish. My frogspawn coral looks really sad, it is more contracted than usual and looks droopy, but when i touched it it moved so it is alive still. I want to klnow what's wrong and possible some way to give it vitamins, i dont really have acces to a fish store now.please help! i have fish vitamins but i dont know if it will help... extra care for frogspawn is good.

• Answer:

  First, how long have you had the frogspawn? If it's "more droopy than normal", it sounds like you've had it for a while. So if you've had it more than a few weeks, it should have already acclimated to your tank. That leaves water quality (check ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and salinity to make sure everything's in the range it should be - you might also check phosphate and calcium levels) and lighting (they need moderate to bright light, and you should have a HO power compact fluorescent, T-5HO fluorescent, or metal halides to keep them). If you have a glass cover, or anything between the lights and the water, see if there's any salt buildup on the underside that's blocking the light - these should be wiped down regularly because of salt buildup. Also make sure none of the fish are picking at the coral or they aren't being stung by a coral next to it (if you have others, although the frogspawn is usually more aggressive than most) - this will make them close up for protection, but they can't do as much photosynthesis when they're compacted. You shouldn't have to add vitamins to your water - everything they need should come from the salt mix, the wastes from the fish and their food, and the lighting. The best way you can give them what they need is to monitor the water quality, do regular water changes - this replenishes what chemicals they use from the water - and provide good lighting.
