Hi

I just got a new rfa a week ago. It's moved 3xs and this last time I noticed that it's mouth had been bulging out for a day and there's a strange white, fuzzy substance under it. I have attached photos. Any thoughts? All parameters were checked yesterday and are normal besides the mag being a tad low. 10 g water change last night.

your tank looks quite new, what are the current water parameters and what is the age of the tank?

Pretty confident it's dying. I checked the parameters Friday and all were good except mag (low) - I'll have to check the notebook when i get home for the numbers. . Haven't taken parameters since. I have a few rfa that are doing great. I'm trying not to poke at it and leave it alone, but if it's dead I want to remove asap.

remove that asap. It is dead, and or will die. That will bomb your tank, smell the nem outside of water, if it has a foul odor then it is dead.
