Hey guys
So I had a RBT for a couple months it was doing great then it disappeared into the rock work , I haven’t seen it in a long while, over the last few days my water has been extremely cloudy , and out of nowhere my nem appears on top of the rock work , should I remove him or leave him? Before and after photos
What should I do

Questions
Is its mouth open
Is anything coming out of its mouth
Is it attached to the rock securely
Does it accept food
 
Mouth seems closed , nothing coming out , I used a turkey blaster around its foot and it seem to pull off a little bit
 
Doesnt look all that bad. Assure you have moderate light and water flow. They are photosynthetic utilizing light for production of zooxanthelle - Their source for energy,, color and appearance
 
I agree he doesn't look that bad. Probably just a little rough from being behind the rocks. I actually have an lta that got trapped behind my rockwork this past week. I freed him this morning and now he's grumpy. Just keep an eye on him.
 
Bta looks ok, and considering what was said above, I’d run some carbon, or do water change if water is cloudy for whatever reason. Are water Params good?

I just got over a cyano outbreak , my alk and salinity are stable but my nutrients are all over the place , there undetected right now , I believe it’s okay because it’s still moving around, I believe I have a bacteria bloom
