glad he's better now (and he seems to have soaked up his yolk too)!
from the pics, his unique little face seems to be one big red scale on top instead of the usual pattern of small scales -- is this correct? is he different in any other ways? perhaps his softness was some kind of birth defect, assuming all his clutchmates turned out normal under matching conditions. hope he has a long healthy life thanks to his calcium spa treatments.
