Everytime I handle its foot blows up on me like a ballon but in the pic it's grabbed on to a rock just a little. Gonna give it few hours before I turn him over and still looking into the iodine dip.

I dont personally, but i have a buddy who cuts nems in half (both carpet and BTA), and dips them in iodine, he says it helps heal the wound from being cut, Ive seen him do this numorus times and never saw any of his nems die

Be great if I could find out his recipe what iodine an how much?

Well foot hasn't stuck down yet but attached a little to the rock, enough to keep it from floating off but opening up more!

 

[ReefCheif]

Im sure hell be fine, if hes opening up and staying bubbly thats a real good sign

 

[bigfoot610]

he is fine hes looking for a good spot to attach the wound has already started to heal the iodine is used as an antiseptic to kill bacteriaat the time of fragging he dosent need it you can gently kinda help tip him up very carefully and he will probably fully attach

Last night the clowns were hosting it looked great wake up and it looks worse then what the picture shows this normal?

Update on how the nem is doing. Any comments appreciated ha don't really know what to look out for if you see anything wrong or like that.

 

[Mav]

Lookin better. Glad he went to a good home

Looks really good they will shrink up like that if something agitates them or the are expelling waste its normal i wouldnt worry the 2 sides are joining nicely and you can see the new mouth forming as well u might tyr to feed it a small piece of raw shrimp or piece of a thawed silverside. i fed my RBTA and GBTA fresh clam sqiud musscle crab shrimp and fish it all needs to be un cooked and preservative free and i found out while making my nem chow - clams and musscles from the grocery store seafood dept are usually alive still and will live in your reeftank

That's the female I think and she sleeps in the nem! Cutest thing ever IMO!!!
