First question will be, tank parameters and lighting...then go from there :-)

Sorry that's happened.....they really are tough as nails, so we need to get to the bottom of this.

The moving around indicates he was unhappy with his location.

Was he in a Hi - Med or Lo light tank when you got him?

How does your tank's light compare?

What is your flow like? A tank picture that includes your flow pumps would help.
