if it look good and healthy ,then its going to go where it wants to ,remember they move around and the tank is their home ,so if it look good and healthy i wouldnt worry .

Just make sure you have all your power head intake cover well enuff taht it wont get stuck in it

Rick, I got the same purple from Zoo, and it did the exact thing and sorry to say that it finally died. Good luck. I think these wont survive in PC ot T5. It requires MH. Any how good luck with it. I hope this guy survives.

It's a sebae and need MH. It also looks bleached.

 

[crox99]

Try to feed it a piece of krill or silverside. Does he accept any food?

 

[NYreefNoob]

purple tip

ive been feeding him krill and he seems to take it. i occasionally feed mysis shrimp too. his mouth was huge this morning and face down. i turned him over to feed and he didnt ball up like normal but his mouth did shrink down

 

[crox99]

How long did you get him?

 

[NYreefNoob]

purple

almost 2 months now, he was one of the first things i got

 

[crox99]

Do you have anyone near you that has MH in their tanks? If so give it to him and he might get better.
