Hi all,
A week ago today, I purchased a new RBTA. I acclimated him to the tank, and put him in, but he was already attached to a little rock. He then moved around and hid under the rock that you see below... He is under the rock but has started to expose himself a little more to the light. He is open and he doesn't seem to be super unhappy, but I noticed a white ring around his mouth and at the base of the tentacles. I'm worried he is expelling his zooxanthelle, and want to make sure I get ahead of the problem if it is something I should be concerned about. His mouth isn't gaping either. Just the white ring and the white at the base of his tentacles. Also, this picture was taken with the LED's off. When they are on, it is more difficult to see. Thanks for all the help!
Specs & Params:
32 Gal Biocube, mini fuge in back with chaeto, chemi pure, and Purigen for filtration.
Steve's LED upgrade with Blues running at 30% and whites % 20.
