Hello everyone,
I've had my BTA for a quite a while now and it was doing great for the first 3 months I had it. Great color, size, and length of tentacles. One day he decided to move from his spot in my tank and ever since he has been quite a bit smaller and not willing to open. Pictured is the most he will open now. Most of the time he is closed up and if he does open his tentacles are just little nubs. I really love my BTA but I have no idea what to do. I've tried moving him and he refuses. What can I do?

Try to get some food to it, I've found that helps them recover. Usually they'll find a spot that will suit them, but some nems are dumber than a couch and will go somewhere bad for them and slowly waste away.
