Green bubble tip help

[COREY J LEETH]

I have a green bubble tip. This is my second one. It was flourishing fine for the last couple of days. Now it had tightened up and browned some. I had this happen to a previous one that died. Any thoughts?

The bubble tips are good sign. If it is closed up or the mouth is gaping then its most likely dying. What lighting are you using and what are your parameters?

Based on the photo the animal looks ok. Like @Highgrade mentioned it would be bad if you saw the mouth gaping. If it was properly acclimated and your parameters are good -- include salinity, temp, and lighting then it might just a need a day or two to find its favorite spot with flow and light that it likes.

+1 on the settling in. If you're parameters are good and the tank has been established a while say 6+ months with no fluctuations the nem should do just fine. You mentioned browned- could it be poop?
