Bta splitting?

trevormass7 · Jul 11, 2017

Just wondering if anyone with more experience could tell me why my bubble tip developed this split where it's tentacles are. I checked water parameters and everything is good. You can see the split at the top

They do just literally tear themselves in half, it can happen very quickly, mine use to move a couple inches during a clone. That particular BTA looks like it's lost zooxanthellae hence the coloration, stubby tentacles, signs of chronic nutritional issues.

He could be splitting but I would start feeding him if you arent. He's really white which isn't his natural color

The picture when displayed was white, what's the natural color supposed to be?

The one you have is supposed to be green in the wild but they in multiple colors. His white appearance is from stress. If he is happy in your tank he should recover without any problems.

Ok, any other tips to keep it happy?

As long as your water is stable you shouldn't have any problems. If he doesn't like where you put him he will walk around until he finds a spot he likes.

Ok, I'll try to move it to a better lit spot
