I have a 6 inch tiger squamosa that has been exhibiting pinched mantles in my reef and not expanding fully. I thought at first it was due to the fact I have him under too much light 2x400 watt mh 10k and 1 x 250 watt 12k. So I moved him in the shade. He did not react so i started inspecting him for snails and did not find any for a week but last night found 3 pyramellid snails.
My question is how do I help him recover?
I removed manually the snails and will continue to every night.
He is not reacting to movement very well at all very sluggish and when I touch the mantle he hardly contracts.
He is secreting a new byssal filament after I seperated the one he had to inspect him which points to being somewhat ok right?
Should I dose with more phytoplankton coral accel zoe anything to give him more nourishment?
Any Ideas, Just got a new camera after turkey day will post picture tomorrow, hopefully.
