BTA recovery

I just found a BTA in my tank that I thought had since been long gone. It is in poor shape as it is basically just a foot, or totaly deflated. It was'nt all that big when I purchased it about 3" across when open. But it has been months since I last saw it, and now that I know it is there it has moved around a bit. Is there any hope to bring it back anyway?
 
If there is a foot there, I would place it in a spot with good light, good indirect current and start feeding it myasis soaked in seacon or zoecon. I think you can totally save it, good luck!
 
I have one that nearly died. Just had a foot and a few gnarled, bleached tentacles. I put it in a place with nice lighting (not too much, not too little... moderate) and with moderate flow and it came back. I was very surprised. It is gorgeous times 2 now, split! One is about 7 inches across, the other about 5, both very colorful and bubbled.
 
Well, small pieces of myasis placed right in the mouth and hope that it has the strength to take it in. Sometimes it just needs time to equilibrate with the environment, flushing out old water and taking in the new water.
Hope it pulls through!
