Nem chilling?

He’s been under the rock like this for a few weeks. He’s wide, tentacles are short and kinda bubbly. Reason for concern or just a nem being a nem? Comes out more at night as well.

Could be light intensity. It'll find the light when it decides it wants to.

I’ve been tinkering with my settings trying to find what works. It seems to like the Fluval light on the back of my tank.

It should move if it’s not happy, but occasionally they don’t. If it looks like it’s declining you could try flipping the rock over to see if it helps.

I spun the rock he’s on around the other day and he hasn’t moved but I kinda confused my Midas blenny. I fed him a small piece of raw thawed shrimp 10 minutes ago and he seemed to appreciate it as he took it in within a few minutes. My female clown tried to steal the shrimp from him and I think she got stung a bit.

I think once he settles in some more (only had it three weeks) he’ll venture out. In the meantime, I’ll feed him once a week and see what happens.

Make sure not to tear the foot though if between 2 rocks

Nah, he’s on one rock tucked up tight into a crevice.
