I ordered a cynarina online and dipped it in iodine then coral rx before putting it in my tank yesterday. The flesh is starting to show, but the mouth is open. I know there is an acclimation period, but it’s been a day. It’s in the bottom half of my 550 gallon. Lots of coral, but first cynarina. Any thoughts would be appreciated. IMG_8355.jpeg

How's it looking now? Yes white light pics would help. Is releasing a slime or showing skeleton? And is it giving a feeding reaction after lights out?

Cynarina can be acclimated to different conditions, but they dont like a lot of light or flow. The last time any of my Cynarina looked like that, it was because of a peppermint shrimp that liked to used him as a dinner tray.

Can't see anything with that photo.

Like others have said, always post photos under white light.

When said you dipped in iodine - what did you use?
