Hi everyone last Friday I bought a smaller bubble tip nem. Beautiful little guy. Anyways his size blown up was about 3” dia. Not huge but I thought we can grow with him.
aclimated him for an hour because my parameters were Simikar to the lfs
1.026 78f nitrates 2ppm phosphate .1ppm And alk 9dkh. Lights are 3 ai prime 16
so the clowns hang out in a corner so I put the nem right under a ledge on live rock very close at the bottom. Thinking if he wants to move he will. Anyway as a nem does his foot is buried under the ledge. He still have bubble tips buts now is maybe 1” dia. I have fed him some red roids and copepods since I got him. It tends to stay not enclosed but small
Any advice? Is it just taking a while. The area has decent par and flow is low to moderate moving the tips decent but gently. Thanks everyone I haven’t had a nem in 20 years. Tank is 1 year old
