    I have a purple/blue Florida ricordea arent looking so well. I have 2 others surrounding him, but not touching him, which are happy and dividing.

    All water parameters are perfect, all of them. He's was introduced into this system 3 months ago, and have been doing well until the last 2 weeks.

    He looks like he is shriveling up, and all his tentacles have gone flaccid.

    I dose iodide daily (xdrops/USgal), and is fed phytofeast daily.

    Yes. As I elucidated all parameters are holding. So 6E-2meq/L is my I2-.

    I'm not target feeding. I am broadcast feeding, but they do gather other sources of carbon extrinsic of zooxanthellae.
