This guy is part of a recently rescued 110g that crashed before I started on it. Over the last two months I've slowly brought the tank back up to where it should be, but this guy is still unhappy. I had to move him away from the overflow and thought I picked a good spot- medium flow, similar height as before, just a bit lower to compensate for a better light. His offspring and all the other corals are happy, it's just this big guy that isn't. Anything I can do to help ease the transition and make him happy again? I've reduced the light output for a few days, slowly bringing it up, and that helped a little. Oh, and I am waiting for my Kent Iodide to come in since I'm not sure when the last time was this tank was dosed.

Thanks!

These guys are pretty hardy. I do not see any glaring issues with tissue. Just time. I have had these cabbage leathers sit in sump with no light for ages and then still survive when discovered. :)

Thanks for the reassurance! He's showing some signs of perking up already, I just want to make sure there's nothing else I can do to help. :)
