Hard to tell by the pic. Is it always retracted like that?

 

[Saltygal2.0]

No, not all the time. Sometimes it staying up tall. Is there something wrong with it?? I cant get close to it. The clownfish fish tries to bite me. If i get close to it lol.

What are your tank parameters , what lights and lighting schedule ?

Iron its 0, copper its 0.5 ( iv3 been trying to get it to 0.)
Nitrate 0, nitrite is 0.( i cant seem to brang that up.) Alkaline its 80. Im looking at my test.
I keep my light on all day till 5pm. I also have

Not sure on acceptable levels of copper for inverts but could be an issue. Others can chime in. Nitrate being 0 is also some concern.

What are you using to test ?

 

[Saltygal2.0]

A saltwater test.

A saltwater test.

Brand?

Api

API is extremely inaccurate. You also need to test
Alkalinty
Calcuim
Mag
Nitrate
Phosphate

Do you have an LFS near you?

 

[Saltygal2.0]

No, i would have to go to ATL for that

 

[REEFTIDE]

No, i would have to go to ATL for that

Okay, I would consider buying a little bit better test kits so that moving forward you get way more accurate results API is known to be a little off sometimes.
You really should not be registering copper in your tank. Do you put the petco water in your tank when you buy fish?

I would recommend a couple water changes to help dilute, wait a couple days then check with better kits. Also, what are you checking your salinity/ specific gravity with?

I will do a big water change today. I have a instant ocean hydrometer . A cheap one. I never pour fish water from a different place into my tank. This is my first saltwater aquarium. I did it to save a fish .
