It looks like its foot is starting to dissolve.

What size tank?
What lights?

If it is upside down, how can that be the mouth? (( unless it is coming through the foot )).

But, at this point, the questions I asked are more important.
 
That badboy is on it's way out I'd say. Pick it up and smell it...that should answer any question.
 
It's probably still ok if it doesn't smell, but as other have said, might be on its way out. In my experience with a couple of GBTAs, I've never had them do that.
