In my experience, once they go under the rocks in a cave or where there is not much light, thay are there to die. Sorry to hear that. Keep an eye on it as you do NOT want that thing dissenegrating in the tank.

sry, i'm just the opposite.
i had a bta that disappeared for over a month. i turned off the lights to get rid of some cyano and it moved out to get the light from one of my lamps next to the tank.
its a pain, but you can move the rock around to get the rock that it is attached to from the bottom of your pile and move it around. put the bta into a lower flow area, make sort of a cave area with rock on either side to keep it possibly from moving.
