Here he is next to a turbo snail. Astraea was doing really good for a while but has now just been down here. Any ideas what’s wrong? This is in my saltwater tank.

Mine will stay in one spot more than he's moving. His favorite spot is next to the wave maker. It think he likes the vibes and he moves back and forth for a couple days at a time. lol. Mine are in around 10 N03 and a .1 P04. Cal is around 420 -430. They need food and Cal. to grow their bodies and shell in my book.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
