I don't think its starvation, my other serpent just came out and he is a little torn up also. I have a clown, few damsels, sailfin tang, coral beauty, purple tang, diamond goby, mimic tang, peppermint shrimp, & red fire shrimp.
I have 2 Icecap 250W MH ballast that are 5 months old, $75 ea. I bought them last friday in Killeen from another forum member (fishn), but have changed my mind and decided to stick with my current light setup. I bought them for $75 each and would like to get the same for them if I can.
