NEM shrinking

[cody2cannon]

So my nem has been in my tank since black friday and im starting to think I may have jumped the gun, if a nem starts to shrink is the lighting insufficient?

Day 3

Today

What are your parameters? What lighting setup do you have, and how long has the tank been running?

Looks fine. Just adjusting to your tank. They can and will change shape, size, color, etc.

They will do this when introduced to a new tank and lighting..

So I shouldn't be worried right now? And how often should I feed I was told one to two times a week one piece of raw shrimp?

Well my mag wall down in the high elevens 3 weeks ago and ever since I brought it up to 13 almost 1400 the bra I have is growing back wonderfully and rapidly so just a thought mine almost perished b4 I found my mag was low and all my other corals love it too

Doesn't look like it's shrinking. It looks like its digging in.

It looks normal based off your pictures.
