long story short. I was gifted this beautiful BTA when my tank was only a month old (his name is Rubble.) It somehow managed to survive every cycle crash, salinity swings, nitrates sky high, being hand fed HUGE pieces of Krill shrimp 3x a day… The works.
We are about 5 months into our journey together (I’m aware tank is still too new) as of now and my tank has been stable for a few months with one random cycle crash 2 months ago. Right after that cycle crash he began to get sick. I love him so much (my toddler loves him more) I even had him housed at my LFS for the last 2 months. He had zero improvement there and got worse. He’s been back home for about a week and some days are better than others.
only treatment he’s been given was a coral dip upon returning home. I’ll post pictures.
He eats. He moves. He reacts to touch. His foot is strong and fully attached during lights on but he always falls off his rock face first into the sand within 2 hours of lights out, he has no the tentacles at all. Always hates ceiling lights being on and some days tank lights also but he’s coming around some to tank lighting (maybe because there is no where to hide)
I’m so sad watching this once BEAUTIFUL creature suffer day in and day out and I feel so helpless. My toddler will come unglued if he passes away.
can anyone help troubleshoot at all?
