Scoly seems depressed

BeeGriff · Jun 30, 2018

Picked up this scoly last week and it just hasn't seemed to inflate like it was when I purchased it have tried it in many different spots in the tank from the sand bottom to a couple different shelfs. When it was on the bottom a diamond goby kept dropping sand in it. So I moved it up off the bottom to a rock ledge that didn't seem to be in a high flow or light are it seemed to be happier for the night but the next couple days it has been depressed and won't inflate. Just moved it to a different spot any advice would be appreciated

Have you been feeding it? Scolys can benefit from feeding meaty particles. I wouldn’t move it too much. That can be part of the problem as well. Let him settle in.

Big change on lighting from the previous tank perhaps.

What time did you feed it? I believe they only like to feed at night.
