Hi All,
I started keeping a healthy little green BTA in my 5 gallon pico reef about two months ago,
I have a small ocellaris and wanted to give him something to host with, with the plan being to move the BTA to my larger tank when he outgrew the pico.
He was fine and I got him to host with my clown well enough,
But he suddenly moved himself one day while I was at work to the back of the tank, sandwiching himself between to rocks and the glass at the back of the rock structure. He did fine there for awhile, and I’ve been running his tank parameters pretty consistent,
A 34 on the salinity,
74° F,
And the flow he’s getting is not too much, not too little,
But suddenly he’s taken a turn for the worst,
And there doesn’t seem to be much I can do to remedy it.
He’s gone through several periods where he’s lost color and then gotten it back, he’s let out some slime, but he’s stayed relatively inflated the whole time. I just can’t work out what to do here and don’t want to wait too long for the sake of the rest of the tank, but don’t want to call it too early if he can be saved.
He’s my first anemone and I really appreciate any help.
