Hey all, I just added this guy and the one behind it two days ago. Today he looked like this. Everything else is still looking great, along with my other rock flower. Any thoughts on what’s going on??

This is what it looked like yesterday.

How did you acclimate it?

Anything that could be bothering it?

Parameters?

Age of the tank?

Where did you get it from?
 
Mine contort weirdly when something bothers them, like yesterday a snail was cleaning the rock right by one of them but the shell is pointy and was irritating one of my RFA and it looked just like this. So maybe a fish or crab picked at it.

But another possibility is it ingested something that didn’t agree with it. Have you fed them anything?

Check parameters to be safe but because the other one is fine I’m thinking it’s something localized to that one in particular.

This is what I mean, this happened when it ingested something that it did not like at all. It went back to normal after a few days.
Yesterday was the snail incident (didn’t take a pic). This individual is more dramatic than my other one.
I’m not saying yours isn’t having a more serious reaction to something, just saying it’s also possible it’s just irritated and will return to normal.
