Decorator crab dead

[alexc5671]

I had just gotten a clam and a decorator crab came from same tank in a Petco , had them in my tank for 24 hours or so now. There both dead. All my other fish , star fish , urchins and hermits are fine. What happened to these two are they just badly kept in Petco , I tested there water from the bag and the ph is at a 7

It doesn’t sound like your problem is with Reef-Pi, or am I missing something ?

If that’s the case, you might want to ask in the appropriate sub-Forum, you‘re more likely to get a lot more help there.

I believe you can either move this thread via an Edit or ask a moderator to do so by reporting your own post.

I'd wonder about the salinity they were coming from and going to.
*my local PetCo runs their two different sets of saltwater systems at 30 ppt and 32 ppt for whatever reason

HI, welcome to the reef, sorry to hear, agree 1 ,salinity difference , 2 possible trace copper in LFS store water
3 possible temperature acclimation ??

what is the salinity of your tank V the LFS tanks.
dying that quick and other fish fine points to acclimation
