Help!

This RBTA was fine about a day ago now he deflated and has looked like this he normally does this a day or so after he eats but never this long any suggestions? I've had this nem for 6 months under same light (t-5ho). No new changes to the tank then routine maintenance. All other inhabitants doing well. He went into hiding the other day but came out on different rock higher up. But he's still deflated today and that bulging white mouth is still present.

What do you feed it?

 

[Erik2514]

Freeze dried krill and raw shrimp

That's good...no silversides...How's it look now? Got a better pic today?

What are your water parameters in numbers? Not just that 'they're all normal'...

My RBTA was acting all weird yesterday, disappeared inside my reef and today popped out front and center. Maybe it's a time thing?

How long has your tank been running, what are your water parameters in numbers, & what lights do you have?
