Something stressed out our Condy and it started to wander. Didn’t notice anything messing with it. I had noticed Phosphate spiked over 1 last week before my trip, so I changed out my carbon and added some GFO. Phosphates dropped to .22. Came back and noticed it’s still hiding. Checked water parameters and all looked within acceptable levels. Wife saw that it was not attached yesterday and spinning under the power head, but didn’t think to tell me. Last night I found it sucked in and pretty torn up even though I tried to cover the propellers with some make shift screen. Looks like it moved enough for the tentacles to get in :-( I have it in an acclimation box and it seems to have come out some and it doesnt seem to have lost all its color, but its pretty beat up. Is there anything else I can do to help it be more comfortable and speed up recovery? Hospital tank? Meds? Or just leave it be and give it time in a lower flow part of the tank
