Trouble with my new Gigas.
I have had him in the tank less than 24 hrs. I have noticed the top edge of the mantle starting to rot away. It is about an inch long and 1/4" wide. Otherwise he looks healthy, responds to shadows. My param are, sg=1.025, temp=78, Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate/Phosphate=0, Calcium=420, dkh=9.6
I also added a squamosa at the same time and he is fine.

That was my first thought too. The mantle does not look like it has been nipped at though. It looks more like it is rotting away, kind of brownish and "dried up" where the live and dead tissue meet. This is definitely dead tissue. Is this the "pinched mantle" that I have heard of ?

might have a disease/parasite...if you just bought it, maybe you didn't notice it at the pet store. just keep an eye on it.
