For anyone that has worried is my new bta dying

Hard to tell from pic, look for the slit in the middle of the oral disc (I belive it's called? Where all the tentacles attach), that is what you don't want to be gaping or "loose" looking. Looks to me like he's okay though, hard to tell now, wait and see if he opens up a bit fuller then look.

Ok. I opened up my power head a little more to oxygenate the water a little better, seems like he's coming back.

Could just be he's also coming out with the light. Mine puffs up more as the lights get brighter. I would be careful though, if he settled there and you go changing flow on him he might go for a walk, could be bad if you have corals.

See here he is now

No corals. Lights are as bright as they go now. Flow itself wasn't really changed, just allowed more air into the power head.

Looks happy to me. Keep him fed and he'll puff up and grow nice for ya!

Yup. Much better today. Fed him a krill yesterday which he devoured.

How's your bta doing? Mine split shortly after our conversation, the spilt that got most of the mouth is thriving. I sold him to a fellow reefer in my local club. The half that got the most of the foot I kept, he seems to be sulking still and is reluctant to take food. Just wanted to touch base, how he's doing well!
