Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hard water could definitely be the culprit. Try adding some driftwood or almond leaves to soften it a bit. Also, make sure they're not getting too much light. Java Ferns are low-light plants.

That sounds frustrating. Java Ferns can be tricky sometimes. Have you checked your water hardness? They prefer softer water, and if it's too hard, they might struggle. Also, how's your flow? They don't like strong currents.

I'm also curious about the best placement for this coral in terms of light and flow. Would low light areas be suitable or does it require more intense lighting? And what about water flow - does it prefer strong currents or can it thrive in more stagnant areas?
