Help with my BTA please
Hi I have had a BTA for about three weeks now and all has been good until this afternoon.
Uo until now I have been feeding a mix of prawn pieces and mysis shrimp about three times a week.
It has taken food well.
Clowns sleep in it and take food to it.
It has a nice foot and mouth greenish tentacles about 5 - 6 mm diametre with a pink/purple tip....sometimes more bubble than others.
Today I got home and 75% of the tentacles had withered to maybe 2mm diametre and a real purple colour
The whole BTA looks smaller and the clowns were "burrowing" into it's mouth
I gave it some mysis which it took well only to have clowns bury in and take it away....BTA shrank even more.
I have covered in the tank with a plastic colander....looking for suggestions on what is wrong
Did water change on the weekend parameters are all good...nitrate about 2.5 is the worst of all the readings...help
