Are you dosing anything in your tank to get rid of flatworm or nudis?

 

[mandarinman]

Or dosing disease related microbelift products?

They fall off at times. In the sea they just wait for the next wave to help them up.
But we do not have those REAL wavemakers.

So you need to help it out.

Is there still enough food for it to eat?

nope only thing i did recently was change from zeo's to bio cubes and that was about 3 weeks ago

 

[mandarinman]

So no probs. Sometimes they get goofed by the chems we dose

Hi Riaan
i had to help it out for 3 days now. there is lots of GHA in my tank and algea on the glass so i think there is enought for it to eat

So it will become part of your daily routine.
Find snail
help him up
Hopefully he learns at some point that there is no more waves to help him up

Maybe he is a bunji snail
