    no flip him in over in the tank. That nem is stressed, not dead, you can save it.


    What are your parameters like?

    I dont think it is dead. They close up all the time when feeding or stressed. Have you checked for stray voltage in your tank. +1 on you paramaters.

    One sign of it dying is the foot of the nem will not attach. You also could try feeding it. Raw krill.

    You probably shouldn't buy things you don't know much about. Do some research on them before you buy your next one.
