I've had my BTA for over 4 months but here lately it stays closed all day. It will open a little at night under blues. It is in a 40 gallon breeder and the tank has been up for about 3 years. It does have a clown that will not leave it alone! My parameters are good except my phosphates have been running 0.05 ppm. Any ideas what is going on?

Been a couple days since your post, has it opened up any? Any additional news to report?

It looks like it's Under a shady ledge. (Nems act weird in the shad weirdly) Did it recently move their? Try to move it into the light. Just play around with the lighting. Maybe it wants more light or potently less, Nems sometimes shrivel up when theirs to much light to save themselves self from bleaching.
If it was me I would blame the LEDS. I have never had success with LED NEM
combo. I'm old school rockin my T5 with flying colors.
Light is frequently overlooked with nem health.

The nem found is way to that shady spot about 3 months ago and I have tried several things to get it to move. To no avail! I even pointed my ph on it for 2 days it it wouldn't move.
The zoas are covered and beautiful on the other side of the rock. The side you see is actually the back. I turned it around to see the nem. My lights are on 30% white and 35% blue. I have been raising them over the last month or so. I had backed them down because I was getting since bleaching on other coral.
