So I have a rose bta that I got a few months back and for some reason it decided to go under a rock forever a few weeks back. I can see its alive and when I flip the rock it just goes right back under. It hasn't shown tentacles or anything this entire time. Anyone see this before?

What do you have for lighting? What are your params? (SG, Alk,Cal,Mag & temp)
 
And what's the flow like?
The nem is in a low flow zone. The other nem is happy just a few inches from where this guy is. Lighting is ai prime, again lower light than the other nem.
Sg 1.025
Alk 8.0
Calcium 440 havent checked in 2 days
Phos ~.03
Nitrate 5
Temp 78
Mag is only one I havent tested. I am just now unboxing my par meter so i can give par in a min
 
Your params #s look good, you might change direction of flow.
 
Mine comes out when light is on an goes to bed under rock at night to
