Send picture, parameters, location in tank, how long you have had it, for me and members to get a better understanding of your situation.

Just did!

I would definitely target feed something meaty like mysis. Does it extend feeder tentacles?

How old is that tank? What par is it under?

I would definitely throw in some rowa or phosphate absorbing media. I would just keep your water parameters in check and move it out of high flow to allow it to heal. Feeding it a meatier food at night when it’s feeder tentacles are out would help to.

Yes it does extend feeder tentacles at night time with lights out.

I have rowa running now in bag since i have no way to add media reactor since there’s no sump.

Tank is about 3 months old and par is at about 60 par.

I target feed mine Nyos LPS pellets twice weekly. Tank gets fed LRF nano so possibly they get what’s in the water.

Do you see a difference when feeding boys pellets??? How much do you feed and what do your scolds look like? How long have u had them? Can u send a pic of the product ur using???

 

[DHill6]

Yes, they get pretty fluffy, colors are really good,

they accept the pellets. I use a hollow tube with a funnel attached to the end, just tap the side and they float on down. I try to feed only a few to each scoly. My oldest one I’ve had at least 8 years, it receeded to almost a goner but it’s reversed and doing great.

This is the one I almost tossed, it’s making a comeback, patience. It’s the larger one.
