Is my BTA dying ?

My BTA was perfectly fine then I come home he’s like this ? Does this mean he’s dying or this is normal ?

There is a chance the clown is beating the daylights out of it in excitement. Also with it climbing the glass, There is a chance you have insufficient water flow
Too much light or water flow and they move and hide.
Inadequate light and water flow and they climb to obtain sufficient needs

I’m trying to figure out if he’s dead or not

Hes not dead. If he were dead he would not be attached to the glass. He would be randomly floating around

Help! I think my bta is dying. All levels are good in the tank. He has been in my tank for 5 days with my 2 clowns hosting him. I bought all of them together because both clowns were already hosting him at my LFS. First few days he was fine. Then a few days ago he detached and starting flipping around the tank and stayed in the sand for a night. Then he reattached to the rock and has been looking a bit questionable since. Sometimes he will completely close up but then yesterday when I got home from work it looked like his guts were coming out of his mouth? But then this morning he was closed up again. Do you think my clowns are loving him to death and he is just annoyed? Or does he look like he is dying?
