BTA not looking good.

[izau3138]

I have a BTA and a mating pair of Gold striped Maroon Clownfish. I have had the BTA for about 2 months. He is not looking good. His mouth is closed and not leaking any fluid. The problem is that he will not hardly extend any of his tentacles. He hasn't moved in a long time, so it seems that he likes his spot. He will still accept food. I guess the question is that: What happend to his tentacles? I can honestly say that for a month that my nitrates have been in between 5 and 10. Could this be the problem? Any suggestions?
