RM's HalfMoon Mantis Palace R.I.P CARNICERA

I just put him into the tank. I hope I'm just being paranoid but something doesn't seem right. He sank to the bottom and when he moved to the rocks it looked like he was drunk. Like the right side of his body isn't working. He did go straight behind the rock. Hope it's just a little stress and passes.

 

good luck and hope alls fine with the little fella. theyre pretty hardy , so yea maybe its just getting accustomed to everything. maybe its like a leg or arm thats fallen asleep. congrats reefmonkey.

 

Thanks divott! I can see him back behind the rock but he's not moving much. Still leaning to the right. I can see his swimmerettes moving and also he 'turns' to look at the light both times I've shined it back there. I'm gonna leave him alone for awhile now. Not much I can do if he is stressed to the point of death but be very sad now anyway.

 

He will be fine!! He is just freaked out.

 

yeah i dont drip much either, for live swimmy critters O2 is way more important. I do the cup thing too! He looks a little soffocated but he will be fine in a couple hours id say

 

Yeah Divott! I'll be fine! I'm just freakin out! Wait you meant the shrimp...LOL

I can't stop shining a light on him. But just a bit ago he appears to be diggin under the rock and he definately hid when the light hit him. I'll leave him alone now. Maybe.

 

i just saw the pic of it. great colors it. mines more reddy\brown. had the blue\green swimettes. sounds like hes gonna be all good

 

Put the light down and go watch some tv

 

lol, he called you me kacy. dont be mad at reef, hes just got new daddy sweats.

 

Yeah even though my store is closed Wednesdays I think I'll go do something down there for a while. Temptation to pester him is just to much when I'm sitting within 3 feet of his tank.
