Received this today and placed in tank. Was not lifting then but 4 hours later One side lifting a bit showing skeleton underneath. Is this pot guy doomed??

Lots other lps in tank doing great. Tank been up running 1 1/2 years water perfect kalk good.

Poor guy could been damaged in shipping.

Could have been damaged in shipping or just stressed. What lighting are you using and what kind of flow is it getting. May like a bit lower light and less flow.

Ocean revive led running at 50%. Flow low where he is
 
Doesn’t look good that for sure. Mayb someone else can chime in.
 
Definitely not good but it's a new addition so keep fingers crossed. I would also try a lower flow area and see if it recovers
 
If you've only had this for one evening relax man, see what happens tomorrow when it has had a night to chill and adapt to this entirely new environment it has been introduced to.
 

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

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

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

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