    probably had the equivalent of Thanksgiving Dinner and is now sleeping it off. Yes, they do this.

    If you're real concerned, pick it up and take it out of the water. If you throw up the second it hits the air, it's dead. If it just smells like a fish tank, you're fine.

    Better yet, I'm taking some every 24 hours! I'm waiting till I can notice a difference to post any pics...

    Good to hear. If he doesn't move this evening then I will do the tried and true smell test! He can't hang on to anything it doesn't seem and he is so lightweight that when I have my 2 MJ mods going he blows around like a tumbleweed. I have one turned off now and that seemed to do the trick.

    :cry:Well, just went to check on the hare to see if he had moved and the cleaner shrimp was ripping apart his flesh:(:angry:. I just pulled him out and he doesn't stink but isn't moving so he has to be a gonner. He didn't ink so I am assuming he was already dead before the cleaner got to him. There goes a $25 attempt down the drain:(

    Well, I'm sorry for your loss but I'm glad you got him out before he started rotting

    Try a sally lightfoot. Mine was eating within 15 seconds of hitting the sand. The only time I have had it stop eating for a molt and three days later it was back to constant eating.

    I was going to but I've heard more bad about them than good. I've heard they are fine as juveniles but get mean and get a taste for corals as they get big...
