Help my CYNARINA!!

[jojo_sor]

I never have problem with them before..so help please..This is the 4th day now and it still didn't open up. It lose the color and yesterday a very small piece of his skin peel out. Also his mouth is open. I still didn't saw his tentacles yet, even at night. Today I tried to feed him. I put piece of shrimp at his mouth, straight at his mouth, he swallow very slowly. If I didn't put it at his mouth, he won't eat it. His mouth is not wide open as yesterday, but still open..help!!!! will he die?!!!

Here is the pic...sorry it's a pretty bad pic..but at least you see something..my sis just took the camera with her today

The whitish one on the right side of the tank!! At the store, he's doing pretty well. His color at store is metallic pink+green.

I am guessing that it is new to the tank, how long did you acclimate it for? What are your water parameters? If it looks like its not doing good I would not suggest that you force feed it that can just make it worse. Try to get your camera back and take some closer pics.
Other than that the tank looks great!

Try moving it to a shaded area.

I agree, move it to a shady location and let it acclimate, everything else looks healthy from the pic, so it should do fine. Sometimes it takes a few weeks for something to take on in its new home. Keep trying to feed it and good luck.

Moving to a shady location is the best ting to do; try to feed it whit some Formula One pellet, my Cynaria goes wild when i feed her.
