Armatus hitting nose on glass

[bbluewater]

A couple weeks ago i got a armatus. Noticed after a few days it's nose started looking raw. It's only in a 55 gal with a lot of current right now. Anyone else have that problem?

How much current does he have ?

More importantly how big is this armatus?

Armatus tend to rub their nose at the tank bottom due to stress from relocation. They'll stop once they settle down. Substrate may help

I have a fluval 406, sunsun, and koralia mag 5

It's about 4"

Half the tank is bare bottom from the powerhead moving it. I will try to direct it different

You don't need that Koralia mag 5 for a 4" armatus.

Try dimming the lights, may help to keep stress levels down.

Hes stressed for some reason. Could be scared, could be water quality, and i also had one that just couldnt handle being in a tank...
