New nem. Good or bad sick not sick?

[bezlar]

Bought this guy four days ago. First put in tank stuck to live rock then on day two released and was floating around so I dug him spot in sand and put him there. He seemed to dig in and came out fully. Then I just looked at him and he is half deflated?

This is first time I've seen a deflation

Thanks

Pictures? Is it a bta, carpet? ? ? ?
How old is ur tank?

 

[bezlar]

My tank is a 190 with total water being about 250. I do have about six rtb's in tank also, wasn't sure if it was a good idea to ad him but thought tank was big enough. Closet bubble is about 12 inches away.

New swapped out tank every thing went into new tank that came out of old tank except sand bed, it's new. Tank was swapped last Friday. Everything test great. Old tank was twelve years old.

Are you sure it's a Haddoni?

 

[bezlar]

Pretty sure? It's solid on back side no spots

FWIW, my Haddoni didn't do well when I had my RBTA in the same tank... Once I removed the RBTA, the Haddoni fully expanded...

It's hadonni for sure... It looks to be adjusting to WP. Also looks like its digging his foot into the sand. Mouth looks good .. Have you try feeding it?

Pix without actinic or led.

Very nice good luck

It's dug in. Tried some krill yesterday but wouldn't hold it. I'll try again tomorrow. It seems to be expanding again but mouth has some white patruding?

Do they look like white kidney beans? If so, these are the siphonoglyphs. I wouldn't try to feed until the mouth closes up tightly and the siphonoglyphs are not visible.

Yes they do, but the mouth closes tight most the time. It's back to being full again and looks good. Do I feed it, and how often. I've never feed the rbt's and they do great started with one and now have nine in three years. Clowns feed the biggest one but never feed any others directly.
