With him live:
2 hermit crabs
1 urchin
Corals:
Acanthastrea
Favia
Zoas
Gorgonia
Some think non photosynthetic

Tank 1year old.

Sorry, close one of two topic

You are our first Russian poster here! How much live rock is in there? Lots of hiding spots? You really need a good lid on top to stop him from jumping out. I know that is difficult with corals. I am very surprised he has not "tasted" any of them.

Thank you and sorry for bad English.
There about 35kg of rocks and his personal cave, where he rest and sleep.

It is possible the light you are using for the corals is too bright for him. What about adding some tall silk plants on each side? Is he eating & swimming normally?

Light is just some led. Not so strong I think. Idk it about 2k lum only 12k Kelvin
Eating good. He never refused food.
Active swimming during the day time.
Maybe I should remake hardscape? With more hiding spots. But it hurt some mini creatures in rocks

You think it's not some kind of sickness? He just coward xD?

I think he would feel safer & more comfortable with lots of hiding spots.

Yes u right I think. Also I forgot to say about some change I did few weeks ago. I stared dosing vodka... (0,2ml per day for 1 week and 0,5ml per day at week 2 and 3. Now stop it. No3 become 5 and Po4 0)
Can he react on it? Few days ago I stop it. Will see maybe he become to normal. I try to remake hardscape but suddenly after dat my lobophyllia die

Yeah, I wouldn't dose vodka, are you having algae issues? I developed a safer method of dosing Vitamin C, instead: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13501

Yea a bit of algae invade my tank
Thank ill will check da link and post how puffer recover after few week of alcholism.
Also do u know how fast he can recover? He rly act like not sober man.
And can bio pellets somehow affect him?

I don't think bio pellets are the problem. I would do multiple water changes for the next week.

Thank you for advising me. I did 20l wc yesterday and want to do 2-3 more wc at this week
