A Little Ball

recole · 01-08-2008, 10:50 AM

My small white sabea has rolled up in a tiny ball! What's up with this? Should I be real concerned or is this temporary. I have nothing in my tank that will disturb it He looks so sad. Thanks for any input, Ron

Mine does the same thing but it's only for a short while. He does that more often that I realized because I took some time off over the holidays and it changes from one minute to the next but the majority of the time it's out flat soaking up light and waiting for a meal.

Hopefully it's a short term thing. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the info. What do you feed yours? Mine is very small (silver dollar size) But I think its growing. T5 lighting. Seems to be OK with it. I've only had it about 3 weeks. It sure has moved around a little. But they tell me that's quite normal. Ron

It came back out of its ball yesterday and looking better than ever. It has moved a little closer to my larger long tentical bubble tip. Will that be a problem? Thanks, Ron

If it is a problem I think one or both will move. Not totally sure but that is what I would think.
