Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to read and review my issue.

I have a BTA, that lately has looked a little ticked off. It barely opens up and hasn't really extended its tentacles in a very long time. It opens enough to let the clown feel protected, but that is about it.

There doesn't appear to be any slime or discharge. The tank is grounded with a titanium rod. It gets a target feed of Mysis and Brine shrimp once a week, and whatever the clown brings to it.

Tank: 90 Gallon, 30 gallon sump
Lighting: T5 HO 10K, Ac lights, blue moon LEDs, all on timers
Params: Honestly, they are all perfect. Zeros, and in the norm on Ak, Mg, Iron, Iodine, etc
Salinity: 1.025-26
WC: 5 gallons weekly, 10 gallons the last two weeks (each week). All RO/DI water & reef salt.

Please tell me what you think. Here are some pictures:

Thanks!

-Dave

It looks bleached, judging by the clear transparent tentacles and white coloring. How is the mouth? Is it tightly closed or open? Are the tentacles still sticky? Is there any feeding response ? I would take it out of your tank and do a cipro treatment in a hospital tank asap. Read through the sticky thread in this section about how to go about it.
