Re BTA Problem

[ReefAus]

Hi

I recently introduced biopellets to my system and the BTA didn't like it at all. I unfortunately put too much in which probably shocked the system. :headwally:

Anyway, everything is back to looking great except for the BTAs which have retracted all of their tentacles so that there are none at all, just the oral disc. It's been a number of weeks now and they don't seem to be recovering; has anyone experienced something similar and what is the likelihood of them recovering or will they starve to death. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks

I don't have any experience with that specifically, but usually, when they "retract" their tentacles, they are actually eating them because they are starving. Please list your parameters, especially lighting and tank size. Also, do you feed them and how often?

Also, a picture would help.
