    I got this yesterday, along with a clam and some other softies, everything looks great except the lobo has skeleton showing.

    Anything I should do?

    Also I've read a lot of varying info on placement of these. I put it at the bottom in low flow ImageUploadedByTapatalk1316005530.034557.jpg

    An iodine dip to help it heal might work.

    I would leave it on the bottom for sure. Check your Alk,Calcium, and Mag. The use of carbon and changing it regularly is important when mixing softies and LPS..8)

    Alk mg and ca are all in check 12 1300 460

    And I just changes carbon 4 days ago.

    Would an iodine dip be okay or just disturb it more since it's only been in a day

    If you dipped it before you put it in I would just leave it alone. It may just be acclimating to your light. Keep a close eye on it if it gets worse or doesn't improve in a couple days I would then try the Iodine.8)
