So I’ve had BTA in my tank for about a week now, the two pictures are the first night in the tank vs tonight. Keep in mind I did buy it very small in hopes I could watch it grow. Don’t anything about it a BTA is bleached but just wanting to make sure it looks ok. It moved to the spot it’s in now the next day and has not moved since so I thought it liked it. I do want to get my calcium and Magnesium up just a bit as it’s on the low end of being ok. Also I’ve had my tank up and running for 15 months now. Parameters are as follows
Phosphate 0.00-0.03
Nitrate 2
dKh 8.2
pH 8.15
Calcium 400
Magnesium 1200
Salinity 1.025
Temp 75.2

If its not moving, chances are it likes that spot. If it doesn't like the spot, it'll move. It will take a while for it to color up for sure

Baby nems will move sometimes as they grow to accommodate their foot too. Mine has.

Just wanted to give an update on the nem, I know someone said it might take several months to color back up, just wanted to see if still looks ok. It hasn’t moved still so I’m assuming that’s a good thing. Just doesn’t look that great to me. (Just between cespitularia in picture)
