hollister_08 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I dont know dude... I never saw the post of the power head!!! But im guessing that has something to do with it... And maybe its just trying heal itself like you said, but id wait and see how it does the next couple of weeks, and then post another forum on here!!! Link to comment
idog Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ah... Did not know about the powerhead incident incident... If the foot was damaged then it may or may not be able to heal itself. Don't lose hope, it may come back. Mine got stuck in my overflow. Took a few weeks but is coming back. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=107079 pics here ^^^^ Link to comment

Tentacles Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 found a possible reason why it may have been unhappy, pulled out a nasty a$$ bright red bristle worm about 6 inches out a piece of rock, never had seen it in 5 months, oh well, now its dead. And the bta has opened up alot better and it ate a piece of shrimp, so maybe we're on the road to recovery. 10 hour lighting seems to be helping out too. Link to comment
hollister_08 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 GOOD, GOOD!!!! I hope your BTA gets beter, and that might have been the reason.. And then again it could have been your lights were running for too long!! but i guess what ever it was is gone now... Good luck with the BTA... Link to comment

RaSooch Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have had a similar problem with one of my BTA's. I have two of them and one will always shrivel up once the lights come on. He does fine when lights are off and flares out and the other one thrives all the time. My water parims are excellent I have check them all at different times of the day. So it definitely isn't that also if it was the other BTA would be doing the same thing. So I think it has alot to do with too much might for him. I read an article about BTA's and it says that they like to have there foot in the shade and then they will flare out for the light. Try finding a nice cave or crevic to put him in. it may help. I too have a problem feeding the one that is doing poorly. I offer him the food and even if he does eat it my skunk cleaner shimp is able to get the food out of the anemone's closed mouth after the anemone has already ingested it for about 20 mins. No one messes with the healthy one though. You can see the two anemone's in this pic and see what I am describing. Link to comment
