The darkening is a sign that it's healthy as well as the growth. I was just wondering if this is some different kind of sebae, or if it is sort of sick or genetically afflicted.


they adust slowly to tanks thats why they are so hard to keep they dont take well to changes in water chemistry, so the nems are better suited to those who keep things stable and consistent def not a good nem for anyone starting out, and if the nem is bleached at the lfs(which they usually are) they take a fairly long time to recover.

i wouldn t worry about the tentacles unless it wasnt sticky or readily accepting food the fact they spiral a bit is prob a sign it becoming more comfrtable in your system.in time the second one will have longer tentacles as well and they both should colour up.



are you feeding them?? any clowns??
