hey nem people @Lost in the Sauce. This one is looking way rougher than I’m used to. I found it face down in the sand first thing this morning. Put it back in its dish and decreased the flow in the tank even more. I just came home real quick between errands and snapped a couple pictures… what are your thoughts… is this still just a wait and see situation? The dude at the store really did a number on it detaching from the dish when I purchased. :crying-face:

can you bring it back to the store?
not easily... its about a 40 minute drive each way and I don't have time this week. I'd rather try to save it. if I can't.. I'll say something to the owner about this particular employee ( I mean I'll probably still say something even if I do save it).

I had 1 rfa in my life. The moment it touched rock. It stuck. Puffer ate the rfa. Yes. I was clueless my fault 100%.

Hell, even the 2 bta i got stuck to rock right away. The fact it flipped over on face is bad news.. and the foot is probably severly damaged.. bad infection... still waiting on the big dogs to reply.

yes I have had it happen to one other previously. (Also found that one face down in the sand one morning with an infected foot) I posted about it here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/e...elated-content-sometimes.884019/post-10671914

The current one is in worse shape I don't remember the mouth gaping open on the other one.

There is no necrotic tissue just a really unhappy broken nem. So I don't think cipro would do anything. Prophylactic use might work to keep it infection free but I'd still give it 50 /50

Set up the camera today to keep an eye on the RFA and make sure it doesn’t go tumbling.

Also, I woke up this morning and realized I never turned back on the return pump or the skimmer after I fed fish last night in the cube. I haven’t been drinking soooo I think it’s safe to say… it’s just me. :confused-face:
