would move said hammer frag to a better location....since its on the sand and they dont demand high light im leaning toward flow it should be in indirect flow cheers and gl

In a 12g tank are you topping up evap frequently? I had a 48g with a similar problem and I found that by topping up all the time to ensure less salinity swings it really helped quickly. I should say though that this was with a frogspawn

i have frogspawn in a 29 biocube on the sand! is doing great.. i have torch, hammer and octo mid to high in my tank and some more octco on the sand all doing fine!!! every vonce and a while my torch will shrivel up and poop... then get all puffy again!!!

I'll do a top up when its needed - add in just enough that the back sumps (JBJ-12-DX) don't get low.

I have not been specifically feeding it... I usually add Brine Shrimp daily to the tank and have not had a problem for the last 3 weeks since it was added. Is there something I should do to specifically feed it or will a passive approach continue to work?

Well I figured all was getting better. Here is a pic from yesterday..... the mouth looked like it was closing!!!!

I got home from work today and it looks like this..... AHHHH

1/2 of it looks like it is falling off the stony base. It might be downsizing. The mouth is open so far you can see the base....

This thing needs to make up its mind...... Live or Die.

Just moved to back to its original location........ lets hope for the best.

It was fine for 2-3 weeks (original location) & 4i'ish days ago I moved it and changed the flow. The flow & its location are all back to normal, where it happily sat for 2-3 weeks. Dunno if it will survive.......

Once its mouth has opened down to the stony base does that signify that its beyond hope?
