I acclimated a LMB about a week and a half ago. 3 hour drip and water quadrupled in clean bucket. No lights or powerheads for 3 hours. He seemed to do well. Swimming around tank and rockwork, pecking the algae on the glass and rocks.
About two days ago I noticed he seemed somber? hanging on the sand behind some rocks. He moves around a little, but he isn't pecking much. I tried to put an algae sheet in but he didn't seem interested. My rocks have hair and coraline algae but I haven't seen him eating.
My Clarkii has been in the tank for two years and he isn't bothering the LMB. All the snails hermits, conch, decorater and sally crab were also acclimated separately at the same time and are doing fine. I did also acclimate a lettuce nudibranch and I haven't seen that in a day or two though.
Any suggestions? Is this common? Is he starving? Is he shy? Temp, salinity, ph sensitive? The water parameters were clean and consistent.
Any advice would be appreciated.
