My BTA is sheinked,deflated and small.
From yesterday afternoon my bta looks like baby anemone. Another one doing very well. Is this normal behavior? My parameters are good. Nem is in around 8months.

Healthy anemone's will deflate periodically. Perfectly normal behavior - they're just replacing the old water in their flesh. Keep an eye on it as it usually last a day or two.

Agree completely. They just have their moments of acting in their own self interest instead of trying to stay beautiful for us.
 
Today is 3rd day. She was same size like another one.
