today......and completly closes at night
The clown wont give him a break either.
How big is your tank, what lights, and how much flow do you have? It looks like he got bleached out pretty good and is retreating under to be in the shade. I had one do this year's ago so I moved him to a shaded spot with good flow and after awhile he found a happy spot. What are you feeding as well?

75 gallon I'm using LED's. 2 small pumps for flow . I've been feeding him frozen Krill. Which he likes. ....

He still opens up under daylights. Just not as big as he was when I originally purchased him. I also moved that leather away to give him more room.
