Ricordia Help.

[Merman]

Hi
I hope someone can help me, I have a Ricordia Mushroom (Florida type).
I purchased it approx 4 weeks ago and it has been thriving, or looked to be.

I have been feeding it a invert food every week and it seems to like it, however I fed it a small mysis shrimp last week, it took it inside straight away, however since it took the shrimp it has not been back to its normal size, only smaller and not as plump. It expelled what I would think was waste yesterday (red slime sort of stuff) and is still today deflated.

Have I done something wrong or is this natural?

Any help would be appriciated.

Many Thanks

I probably wont anymore.

I dont feed mine too. They do not like strong circulation - try to find new place.

I don't spot feed mine but the other day a food pellet landed on one and it gobbled it up, so I assume its a natural reaction and if it didn't want the food it wouldn't take it??

Thanks Guys
I'll see how it goes, not feeding it for a while.

Cheers
