2nd opinion on BJD

tnewell · Feb 21, 2021

Got this from a vendor 3 days ago, came in an ice cold bag, very receded by the time of acclimation. Actually started to come out a little then I noticed most of the flesh disappearing. Now parts of the right heads tentacles are actually falling out. I think the right head is forming bjd, it did not pass the smell test.

I don't know if its BJD, it could just be natural degradation of dying flesh, but it is clearly on its way out.

Hi,

Agreed, do not see disease as an issue. Appears water condition was the issues. Have you run thru you tank parameters to be sure you are good. May have been the shipping with all the frigid temps lately.

100% shipping, I have colonies of lps thriving in this tank, I’ll post pics below. The shipper did accidently send it to my doorstep and it arrived ICE cold, so bummer.
