Nursing back a BTA to health

[Silfer]

When nursing back a BTA that lost some (but not all zoox, still light green) to health, that is also not as big as it was in the shop. It's not fully opening/tentacles are small. What's the best way to go about this?

Ie, feed a small bit, 1~2cm of krill daily?

It's tentacles are not sticky, but for the past few days i've been turning off the flow and putting some krill near it's mouth and it pulls it in and eats it.

Cheers

I would just let it be and wait for it to darken under good lighting.

I'm just worried if I don't feed it daily it'll die as I read when the tentacles go short it means it is eating itself basically for energy.. this way i'm providing daily energy for it til it gets back to full health.

Open to all advice want the best for it.

Cheers

I would agree with the approach of feeding it in small bits frequently. When they lose their color they can't gain much from your lighting and the food will help supplement until it's color comes back.
