Is my nem in trouble ?
About two months ago I fed my Nem a small piece of squid and just when it was about to consume it, my crazy Wrasse ripped it out of it's tentacles. From that time on, it has only been opening up halfway and not full like before. The side where the Wrasse ripped the food out doesn't open as much. The good open side will even bubble the tips, but not spread fully open. It still eats well, but i'm worried about that half. Will it stay that way forever,is it going to die off slowly ?
I have always took special care to keep all the fish away until it has completely closed in on it's food, but my Wrasses is another story itself. The first pic is what it looked like two months ago, all full and happy and about 5in full, now everyday for the last two months it has looked like this about 1-1/2 to 2in full.. |

It looks like it's not getting enough light, it looks bleached out.
