Lazy anenome

[MNFish]

I have had this BTA for a while and it has settled in a bit of a high current area, whenever I turn off the current to feed it just flops over and waits for food... It eats like a champ and seems healthy, but refuses to bubble or even try to keep any sort of form. It looks more like a mop when the current turns off than anything else. I kind of wish I could convince it to bubble again but I have a feeling that ship has sailed unless it decides to eventually split. Has anyone had any luck convincing their BTA to bubble once it has decided not to anymore?

change of environments fix it overtime, I can send you pictures of a ton that are like this, but they always "bubble" again - curious where it is placed in relation to flow/light compared to the others.
Also, I strongly recommend you don't direct feed these animals..its bad to do and often causes things like this.

This one has the most flow and light out of all and does not bubble where the others do. I do feel that there was a correlation between feeding it and lack of bubbling. I have been contemplating moving the rock he is on the the corner so it would be less light and flow. But every time I have moved it in the past it has moved again.
