I have a very large BTA that I've had for about a year. The central disk has grown from ~3inchs to ~10 inches since I got it.. Its now massive. I've seen it in a large number of different inflation states and shapes, from looking like over-inflated balloon tentacles, to slender to actual bubble tips.
In the past month or so I've noticed something completely different. The coloration now spirals up some of the tentacles much like a candy cane and the actual shape of some of them are spiral too.
Problem: Some of the tentacles get twisted exactly like a balloon used to make the segments in a balloon animal. I became concerned this would actually cause them to ripe right off. Last night I discovered my scoly appeared to by dying, it was a mess of degrading flesh. After using a baster to blow off the decaying flesh I realized it was trying to eat a tentacle that had fallen off the BTA.
Has anyone ever had this problem before? I've search R2R and seen some articles about BTA with spiral tentacles but none about them actually twisting off.
