Hey guys,
This leather has been with me for over a year and a half. I loved the guy. If you think he looks small, you should of seen him when i got him, a little wee baby. Recently i changed my halides to abyss RS7 150w 20000k (but they DONT LOOK BLUE, WHY?) bulbs. The algae grew out of control (until i started vodka and got my nutrients down and topped my clean up crew with 40 trochus snails). Even thought he was in a hight flow area of the tank, he would constantly get covered in green algae. As you can see in the photo now he is covered abit. Doesnt matter hoe much times a would shake the stuff off it would come back. Then he stopped opening up. He had not opened nwo for over 1-2 months. I thought it was a hpase of recovery, but it seems liek its a phase of death. He has seen started to fall apart. I have moved him to a low flow, low light side of the tank and he is slowly falling apart. Luckly now he has stopped falling apart and is stable. He used to be all floped to one side, but has recently straigtened up. He also does nto smell bad. Could he be recoverying.
Please help, thanks in advance, Stipe.
