Just added a BTA to my tank yesterday. It picked this little crevice itself and seemed to settle in, but this is the change I've seen over the last few hours. Is it okay or curling in on itself and dying? Thanks for the help!

Mine tucks in on itself every night to sleep. If it were bedtime here, above photos would be expected, though they retract even more to look like little onion ball with tentacles poking out - and clownfish all trying to get in/on tentacles - funnyJust added a BTA to my tank yesterday.

ThisJust give it time to find a spot and settle. How old is the tank though and what are the parameters? Are you using rodi water? just some pretty basic tank questions
We have well water that I don't believe has an issue with copper (we have lots of inverts with no problem yet). I also had no idea you'd want to see nitrates. I don't think I've had readable levels of nitrate since the tank first cycled. Not sure how to raise that. Last night the nem seemed to puff up and then retreat back into himself a few times. I just checked it this morning when my lights came on and he's looking squished and a little deflated like the second picture again.Have you been using city water from the start? Possible copper issue?
