Lettuce sea slug in bad shape

[TylerDurden]

Hello everyone,

Hoping someone can help me. I got a lettuce sea slug about 2 months ago, which seemed to thrive for weeks, until I found her stuck to the power head. I assume she was hurt - this has been 3 weeks. Ever since she seems small, white colored, and at times I find her floating around almost like she does not have the strength to hold on to the rock.

I have a dotty back, a hawk fish, a tomini, pair of clowns and an anthia

Water parameters are quite normal:

Phos 0.24
Nitrate: 18.4
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Ph: 7.9

Any assistance on how to bring her back to health is appreciated

All my best

As far as I'm aware, they only eat algae and I'm not seeing much algae in the pictures? It could be starving and it was stuck to the powerhead because it went there to eat and got stuck.

+1 to this, these guys only eat on algae, specifically the filamentous species. It seems more likely to be a starving scenario rather than anything else.
