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.
