I topped off my tank with RO yesterday, and I realized that today my frogspawn seemed to be retracted.  The frogspawn is normally very large, and instead, it seemed a bit shriveled showing it's green color.  My xenia was all retracted too except for one stalk.  Any idea as to what may have caused this?  The salinity is at 1.025 and my temp maintains a constant 79.  My testing supplies are out (I know, I might be dumb for asking without testing the water) and I need to go get more,  but should I be concerned?

See Pics...


Thanks
Mike

I would test water to be sure, but dont think there is anything to worry about, you most likely added the fresh water upstream from them and the sharp change in salinity affected them and they are retracting back, mine do it sometime when i add water.  they go back to normal within a day

Did you pour the new water in near the Frogspawn? I've done this before and it took my frogspawn quite a while to recover.

I actually poured it in the back of my Nano Cube.  I have done this many times before, but it has never reacted this way.  Maybe there was more than normal this time?

I doubt that pouring it in the back would do that unless the pump is aimed at the Frogspawn.
