Lta help

LeJeune981 · 12/25/2017, 12:41 AM

I posted this on the nem and clown fish forum.. but not getting responces..

My LTA I've had for about 4 months now.. something is stressing it.. I don't know what..

When I first got it... it attached right away.. then moved across the tank.. pushing the sand and a rock out of the way as it went... then settled in the corner and has been happy ever since..

Yesterday.. it was acting a Lil weird.. and tonight after I feed the fish.. it swelled way up.. mouth gaped.. and let go of the tank and sand...
Currently.. it's all swelled and floating around...I have it somewhat blocked in with pvc because of corals and whatnot.. I will let it float in the morning or make it a nice spot back in the center of the tank (more light maybe?)

I'm just not sure what to do.. or what's wrong... any advice is desperately needed.. I need to get to bed..

Generally they move when they aren't happy. Could be lighting, flow, etc.

What kind of lighting do you have it under? Have you been able to feed it since you got it?

I got new led lights about 2 weeks ago.. Maybe 3 weeks.. I've been slowly turning them up.. little by little
(3. 165 watt black boxes) 90 gallon rr dislplay..

Everything else has been the same..

Yeah.. I've feed it quite a few times.. the last time she was fed was 3 days ago... I usually feed it 2 krill.. the last time I went to feed... she held on to one.. but let the other go... and that was the first thing odd that I noticed

I wouldn't think my lights are too bright.. I'm only running the blue side right now (my super knowledgeable lfs guy suggested only blue while I fight some gha)
