As long as your ammonia and nitrites are testing zero, then it should be fine. Might want to test those two parameters to make sure a mini cycle has not been triggered.

I really never think about adding a nem until six months after a reef has fully cycled and stable, but nems can act goofy for a few days at a time. Sometimes they ball up after eating, while digest food.

FWIW:
I have not spot fed any BTA in years.

Also, I a nem that has never hosted clowns and the clowns started being hosted, a BTA can freak out for a while.

Nems close up at times. As long as it looks normal when it opens back up, I wouldnt worry too much.
