Don't Understand What has Happened to my Brain!!

[The Grizz]

I am up for anything at this point. I got it from a fellow canreefer who have the same tank but I am not sure exactly what he has for light's . It was like this for a couple of week after I got it and them it opened up for a while but not now.

Less flow? Something by it stinging it? More food?

Hi Kelly

It is in the same place that it was when it was open. There is nothing near it at all except my other brain. I feed it every night and have started to add amino acid to my tank. I think I might try to move it to a shadier spot see what happens

My brain did the same thing when I first got it. It was sitting on the sand bed and that was too much light for it. I ended up putting it under an overhang (the edge of the overhang) where the only light it got was the light that bent around the overhang. It now stays puffed up all the time.

There may be something picking on it. Many fish like to nip at Brains.

My guesses are nipping, light shock, or parameter shock.

I was also thinking of nipping. What fish do you have in the tank with it?
