Welcome to Canreef. Wish my welcome post to you was a happier one for you, but you are at a fairly dangerous milestone at around a month - carpets are notorious for looking great and healthy and then suddenly declining. If they can make it past a month usually they will do well long term but very many don't and for reasons not really understood. Something during collection, shipping, wholesale, retail, .. who knows. It could be as simple as a bad silverside or something too.

If it reinflates, hold off on feeding for a bit. Make sure water movement is brisk and alternating if possible (like a wave action with a pause in between surges). This will help keep O2 levels up which should help.

Good luck!!
