He can't open up past the skeleton anymore. he receeded once because my former clownfish kept burying him

{ wiping my tears }...he was beautiful

sigh. I've asked around here if it's possible to cut that skeleton or to frag him etc....no answers

but, not to hijack your thread......I'm actually looking right now for some online brains cheaper than 70 bucks...seems sorta steep. How big is that one you mentioned?

its actually i would say a medium size but the colors are crazy. it is neon red and neon green

Tried that

He'll plump up but I think he has a hard time growing now because of the skeleton and the way it is sticking out. I haven't decided whether or not he likes the shade or bright light either. Both locations make him happy one day and ticked off the next LOL

he will not grow back over that skeleton because it is now nasty with algae etc...

i would, very carefully, cut away a good portion of the old skeleton along the rim and smooth it out. be careful not to touch or damage the remaining tissue. hopefully it will then work on re-growing the skeleton from there.

Thanks

I'll certainly give that a whirl!
