This is very typical for them as they grow. It's most likely just shedding. My will be like that for several days if it doesn't get strong enough flow. Don't stress. Leave it alone and it will be fine.

Thanks for the quick response I was stressed! Is there anything that I should look for that I should be concerned about?

They go through stages acting like that. Mine seem the happiest with some flow going over it. They are as hardy ad they come and I'm sure they would be living right next to the cockroaches if there was a world war 3.

I bet within the next day or so, it will change again.... If it doesn't you can try moving a power head closer to it to see if it responds.

I have the power head close now, I think if i put it any closer I will blast it. I just ordered a jebao wp 60 hoping to add more flow to the tank with less dead spots.
