Hi guys, so recently I picked up an acan enchinata to add to my collection of acans lords and micromussa. I have the acan enchinata placed in a separate comer than my other acan as they cannot touch. With my other acan, I can tell they are doing good as they close during the night and open during the day and look puff and slightly sway with the water. However, how do I tell my acan enchinata is doing good? Currently I have realized it does not open or change shape it stays the same throughout the entirety of the day and night. Is this normal for an acan enchinata? How do I tell it is doing good and is healthy?

Look for feeding response- color and plump tissue

according to a tidal gardens video i watched. Plump tissue and feeding tentacles out all day are signs of health
