Mine is really finicky. Like it's bi-polar. Lol. Sometimes it's big n pretty...Sometimes it looks like it's dying. It's fed, with plenty of light and rock on which to climb, but for the past few days it's been small and what appears to be unhappy...

I lost 1 of the 2 that were in there. The one that's left seems to react to food IF I shut the pumps off when I feed. It's very slow moving and after about 15 minutes I just turn the pumps back on because I'll forget. It kind of hangs out in a dark corner. I put a flower pot in there and moved the nem into it and the next day it crawled out and back to another dark corner. I'm wondering if the clowns are bothering it.
I feed mine chopped squid about once a week or so.

Sounds like its not happy. did you change the water flow or lighting run time
sounds like its just in distress, they dont need direct food for them to live assuming you have fish that you feed
i only feed my directly maybe once a week if that, most of the time i let nature run its course in their

No. Haven't done much of anything to the tank lately. I haven't been trying to feed it anymore since it won't take it anyway.
Thanks Marvin. I'll try to get a pic of it. One day it looks dead and gaping and the next day it looks fine.

I had a crystal clear bta at one time. I diced fresh scallops small and soaked them in aqua vitro fuel. It took four months but it regained color and lived for three years until hurricane sandy took my lower level. Good luck

My fish keep stealing the food from mine. I kind of grabs the food and before it can eat it the fish pick it off. I just gave up on trying to feed it. Even if I feed the fish first it appears they'd rather steal it from the nem than eat what's right in front of them.

I finally got it to eat! Rod's fish eggs did the trick. They actually stuck to the tentacles and the nem ate several before the clowns ran out of food and started stealing.
The color has improved drastically. Very nice rosy red tips, yellow tentacles and green base. Not sure what the turn around is. It was sideways on a rock and I flipped the rock over and was shocked at the color of it. It's right on top of the rock work now soaking up the light. I'm hoping it will start to catch other foods now.
