my BTA, need opinions, advice

[thereeftank]

I got a maroon clown pair and a BTA. BTA came with the rock he was attached on. Drip acclimated to my tank for about 45m. Placed at the bottom of tank, flow turned down, no lights. Looks okay for two days, inflated and didn't move. Then all of a sudden he deflates and moves far into a cave/darkness. The male clown was all over this nem and wouldn't leave it alone. He would bring it shrimp, but I didn't see it really stick for too long.

140g tall tank, 30g sump. system a few years old. moved into this tank about 3months ago. Everything thriving, corals, inverts, other fish.
Nitrates 0
PO4 .25
salinity 1.025
temp 79-82
2x 250w halides x 6hrs.
carbon

After a few days of not seeing the nem, I took my rock work apart. He was attached, but deflated. I blew him off with a powerhead and put him in a juice bottle that has holes cut with some rock. He attached to the rock, shady part.

What do I do? Is it on the way out? Light shock? It was under VHOs in the LFS, maybe 8" under and inflated well. stressed out by clowns? Should I let him back out into the tank and not worry about him? I'm worried that he'll die in some cave where I can't see him in time and get him out. His mouth is closed tight. He has lost some color. Some tenicles inflate partially, but not to the extent like he was at the LFS and the first two days. I read through many "help me with my nem" and "is my nem dying", but still have some questions. Thanks for reading and helping

It may have been to small and the clowns killed it, might have been shock ,but sometimes you just get a bad one and they check out due to no fault on your part.

This is an update pic of it. This morning it climbed out of it's container. When the lights came on, it hid back into the rocks.

Keep the maroon clowns away from him somehow, i had one maroon and 2 BTA's with the same problem. I ended up having to bring the maroon back to the LFS. BTA's are doing great now. They will end up killing it if they continue to have access to it.
