Rbta twisted itself up today... is it okay?

[Nano Gabe]

The trunk is twisted but everything else looks good in the tank. No recent changes so I have no idea why it’s twisted.

Wow I've never seen that before #reefsquad

You can untwist, I think it’s a form of stretching

I tapped it with my finger and it untwisted itself

Man this hobby is complicated...

I've had them twist up before but that's pretty severe, and I don't like that color change. Glad it untwisted (more or less) spontaneously. :)

Wow! If that was a testicle we would call it torsion! :D:p Looks painful!

I've never seen that but I'm glad it straightened out by itself..kind of. Do you think some turbulent flow in the area could have caused it?

Hmmm not sure kinda just random we’ll see if it happens again

Happens - don't let it stress you out. My BTAs will literally tie themselves in knots sometimes. They are absolutely ridiculous creatures.
