Recovery time period for BTA?

[Angus1989]

What is a realistic time frame for my BTA to bounce back after a sickness?

I've been babying it back to health since October. Really committed to hand feeding this month and now giving it a little bit of reef roids for supplementation.

Any good advice for helping it along?

Feed better food - a small piece of defrosted raw shrimp is one of the best foods for BTAs (in my opinion). I would feed a piece twice a week to nurse it back to health.

Great question I have one just like this that still looks small with shortened tentacles and it's been like this for almost a year now. I target feed it every once in a while but haven't noticed it get any bigger or really recover since it first got sick. But all my other BTAs are doing just fine.

Agree! That and frozen chunks of clam were all I ever fed mine.
