So for the past week or so my trachy isn’t looking to good. I moved it from its original spot around the same time it started looking deflated. My hammer has also started stinging a birdnest piece I have above it (also moved recently). I don’t know what I was thinking moving stuff around. Now the sandbed is really crowded and I can’t decide where and what to move around. I need help figuring out where to place some of the corals I have on the sandbed.

The arrow crab is pretty annoying but the trigger has been in the tank for a while never had any problems with coral. It was doing fine until I moved it. The other coral is definitely being stung by the hammer.

It may just need some time in its new spot to adjust to the new conditions. My trachy deflates if I mess with it. They are pretty resilient though. Mine receded so much it looked dead as can be. I was certain it was dead. I just threw it in the sump for extra rock and when I broke that tank down about a year later I noticed it had grown tissue back but was completely translucent with no color. I slowly acclimated it back to light and it’s doing better than ever in one of our frag tanks.

Wow that’s awesome, I’d love to see a pic if you have one. Mine was so fat and always wanted to be fed for months. Hopefully it springs back. You don’t think I should move it again?
