Ive had this bta for about 3 weeks. From the looks of it, is it a goner? It does not smell. It looked like this a couple days ago but inflated afterwards. I am struggling with a low nutrient parameter tank which im getting back on par slowly. Just looking for opinions based on its appearance.

When it starts to look like cauliflower, its in deep trouble.
These require some basics:
Moderate light and water flow
Salinity 1.025
temp 77-79
Ph 8.1-8.3
Nitrate < .04
Phos < .04
Ammonia < 03

Too much light and water flow plus sand getting on them are things that make them Unhappy

Is it disentigreting? If not then it’s likely ok. They can nuke a tank if they die and dissolve in it tjough so be careful.
Its peeling on parts of the foot but not drastically. Going to monitor it closely so it doesn't destroy everything else. Hoping for the best

Also i have another bta which ive had for over 6 years. Last year he got stuck in my vortech mp10 (with protector so no real damage) and has looked like this since. He is white with no tentacles. He only inflates when the lights are off. Ever seen or heard of anything like this? At night he gets fat and looks healthy accept from lack of tentacles and his green color.
