Anenome moved again and looking rough

This is it today......

The clowns are relentless on trying to host it. Could they be part of the issue?

So an update.....

We thought it died but turns out it's moved to the back of the tank, and seems to be closed up. I went to get it and it's fully attached to a rock and didn't let go.

I'm assuming it's just still adjusting? I wonder if our clowns were too rough on it. They hit the thing hard and were fighting over who got to lay in it. I guess as long as it's attached and not dead there's hope?

Hard to see here, but it's in the back closed up

So this bta has been in the back of the tank, under a rock for around 2 weeks. I kept trying to move it but it was attached to the rock, so I left it alone. It was still getting worse and worse looking. Found it detached today so I quickly scooped it up.

It looked dead to me when plot a few light green areas, and really brown. I smelled it and it moved, so I put it back in the tank. It attached itself to a rock and has now opened up quite a bit from what it was, but looks awful.

Maybe there's some hope now that it's back in good light and flow? The clowns have moved to the Duncan and aren't trying as hard to host it now. I think they are what messed it up from the beginning.

I've had BTAs get chewed up by a powerhead and still survive--there's always hope!

Good to know! The fact that it stuck itself to a rock and puffed back out gives me hope!

Well it looks about the same today, but I did just witness it eat a piece of brine shrimp. Maybe it will somehow pull through

So it's been eating after moving to a much better place for light, and the green is really coming back. I thought it was a goner, but it's hanging on!

Whats going on here though? White mucus looking stuff coming from it's mouth?
