Hi all. My BTA has gone from looking pretty healthy to less than stellar in a matter of about 24 hours. The only thing I’ve done different is I’ve been raising alk from 7 to 9-10 over the last week or two (never increased by more than .75dKH overnight) and just purchased Red Sea Reef Energy and dosed it per the instructions. Looking for some advice. The second picture isn’t great but unable to get anything better today.

It’s tentacles have thinned and it looks like it’s going into hiding.

I’ve had the nem for about a month. I know it’s not getting too much light. It was under the same lighting intensity under the last person and gets bubbles under more intense light (just a known fact about the nem that people give to eachother in my local club). It gets fed krill about two or three times a week in addition to the mysis it might catch from my regular feedings at least every other day.

Hmm, hard to say, it does not look bad in first pic, maybe it will grow and look better as it ages to tank more
