    its common for them to do this when they are new to a tank.. have you tried spot feeding it? that helped mine dont know if its recommended but its worth a shot.

    Did you touch the fleshy part with your hand? Euphyllias do not like the oils in skin.

    Might be. What about your flow? Is it more direct on the head that is deflated?

    One other thing, do you happen to have a peppermint shrimp or some other live stock that could be stressing it?
