Rbta deflated

[Marchillo]

So a day after bragging about how well it's been doing it's very deflated and almost stringy looking today but still attached.

Just checked params and not much has changed. Alk around 8, calcium about 430, mag around 1420 which has come down a bit from almost 1500, sg around 1.0265 so a tad high but not crazy. Nitrates less than 5.

The male clown feeds him everyday and so maybe it's just expelling waste?

No changes whatsoever and he's been great for a couple of months. Funny yesterday I took the protector sponge off my mp10 feeling confident. That is now back in place.

I got home late today so the Blues were on. Not sure what he looked like during the day but definitely a lot more deflated and stringy than normal.

So do they deflate if overfed/expelling waste?

Tank is about 15 months old.

That is a normal thing for BTA's to do.

Bubble tip anenomes do that. I wouldn't worry about deflating. Just make sure his mouth isn't gaping and as long as he's still attached I'd just leave it. He's probably fine, maybe just pooping

Ok great. Thanks for the responses. It's looked so plump lately I was surprised to see him like that. At least it got me to catch up on my testing which all checks out.

Thanks guys!
