The last couple days the second one has flattened out. The other two look fine..

Is he dying? Anything I can do?
 
Looks ok. Probably a little stressed from ripping itself in half.....

Edit. Will pay cash money for that Jack-O Lepto!
 
Got that from Jason Fox at my first Reef-A-Palooza. You should see my JF Space Invader Pectina ( center)

Unless you live in Jacksonville, it would be a little difficult to get to you :)
 
Give him some time he might pull through. Thats alot of stress splitting into 3 like that. How are parameters? Any swings?
 
I wouldn’t feel great either:p No swings. The original piece & the 3 piece are doing well,
Temp 77
1.026
Ph 8
Alk 8-8.3
Ca. 430
Mag 1320-1350
NO3 2.5
PO4 .12
His colors are bright. Anything special I can do, or just watch and wait?
 
Watch and wait...hopefully hell pull through. Params look good. Po a lil high but shouldnt bother the nem much.
 
I agree. I think he’ll make it. I had lots of splits, but no deaths after. Mine typically hid for a while during the splitting process. So the fact you can see it is pretty cool.
 
Thanks everyone! He’s was puffed up a bit today, but deflated again. His color is still good, so I’m staying positive. Very excited that I have three now:) Maybe my lonely Picasso will like one of them. I had 2 Picasso’s, one died, LFS gave me two more. They all hung together for awhile, but one of the two new ones decided to hook up with the original and they ditched the small one. Poor little guy
