I seperated them as i believe the bigger half was not getting cozy anyhow. Waiting for other half to let go so I can return the other bta to display.
Bigger half healing well.

Second half will need more time.

If I may offer some advice, leave them alone..

It likely was a stress split up front. Given they were already not in great health, moved to a treatment tank. Getting daily water changes, Those are all big stress events. I bet dollars to donuts. It wasn't ready to split but stress split it. Give them time to recover. If you are not antibiotic dosing anymore, there is no requirement for the daily water changes. Let them heal, then move them back.

Treatment is still going. Until they get back to a healthy nem response. I moved the half because it was detached. And getting ready to move. It turns the foot into a baloon for lift off. So, I gave that half a clean rock. Settled fine.

I'd like to get the other nem out and back into the display. But, that will be based on the other half of the inferno.

So. Yes. This was a severe stress split.

I'm not poking and proding them. Just offering them other rocks to attach too if the aren't happy with the current one.

I'd rather them not spend energy looking. Maybe I'm wrong?

Or you hit 10 days straight. That's a full and longer antibiotic cycle than is usually needed. Don't want to tempt antibiotic resistance. Ongoing use after 10 days can

That is Generally how they walk, yes. Inflate one part of the foot, set it down, detach the back and walk it up. If they don't want to walk they will just inflate and roll around.

Why not take them both through the entire treatment together and move them both back to the display once healthy? Or am I missing something?

There's a large monti on the rock with the original bta. I'm not sure if it could also contribute to irritation of the nems.

Thoughts?

Nem wins that fight and is capable of moving away. I wouldn't consider that a likely scenario.

Good enough point.

Tonight was the original last treatment, making that night seven. They are all very responsive, just might call this the last night.
And let them work on healing.

My biggest issue with treatment was an improper reef light. After I saw them looking like a puddle of filaments, i went to remove only to see firm flesh and no stench.

They were incapable of photosynthesis. After adding the reef light, recover took off like a bullet.
