I had a colony of star polyps that were doing quite well, then the mushrooms that were above them started to completely shade them. So for the past week they have not been opening, then last nigh I noticed they detached themselves from the rock they were on and "fell" down to the bottom of the tank. Can they move themselves that way to drift to a brighter location? Are they dead? has anybody else heard of this? I will find out when I get home if they are still alive.
Thanks
