Hello I have had this Acantho for 5 days now (4 but will become 5 in a few hours), it has been eating well I have fed it pellets. During the day he expands fully on his right side but doesn't cover his skeleton all the way on his left side. Is this normal? His left side flesh seems to be "levitating". Also he is against the glass so he touches the glass and he also touches a bit of a rock but doesn't expand there, could that be a problem to him not fully extending? He is in a low flow area of the tank and receives low light.

You do not need to feed coral pellets daily - it looks good - depending on your picture. My guess is if you fed it once/week you would be fine - my guess is also if you never fed it - but it collected uneaten fish food - it would be ok

Thank you so much, I feed it usually twice a week because it doesn't get uneaten fish food due to my tank having a dwarf lion and a goblin scorpionfish. I will reduce it to once.
