    should be on here now as a thumbnail

    I had a look and it seems ok to me - it has retracted possibly in reaction to the flow being to strong

    I can see the skeleton but there does seem to be flesh covering it rather than it being expossed?

    I have had success with lower flow, I’ll also attach a link that you can use for reference as well:

    Seeing the skeleton is not a good thing, hopefully a move in the tank does him well. I do not see the slime in the photo.
