Yuma falling apart

[bobo33]

Brought home a nice big yuma a couple weeks ago. It adjusted very well, placed low and in indirect light. Last week I upgraded my lights to LEDs and the yuma looks to be falling apart. It started out by looking like it was vomitting, now there are small pieces falling off its outside tenticles. What is the deal? The rest of my tank is thriving in the new lights, but this yuma isnt. I also brought home a different yuma the same day as my other one and it wont open up any more. My parameters are good and I do regular water changes, Whats the deal? Ill try to get some good pics. Thanks

Pic #1 is about a week after bringing it home. Its color was good and ir was spreading out nicely. Pic #2 is today, I moved it completely away from the light and you can tell how much color its lost. Also, if you look closely to the picture you can see the slime its letting off. Any ideas?

I'd move it somewhere in the shade. Since you just switched to LED's, you need to light acclimate it again. It looks like it's already starting to bleach. Once it starts getting better, then you can start moving it to where you want it.

Yumas are notorious for melting. Low flow, really low light, and keep it that way for a while, to acclimate.... very slowly introduce it to brighter light. I try to dose iodine to keep things clean.

I tried to acclimate it. Put it in a shady spot out of the strong flow. But its a gonner. Thanks
