That bubble tip has perplexed me, one day it looks fully healthy then few hours later it looks unhealthy,about a month or so ago I thought it was dying, it had something like its internal mouth hanging out like inside out, then the next morning it was looking normal. I am not sure how old it is, it was on the rock when I bought the tank, I do know there are two baby ones growing in the tank now. I am running Ecoexotic LEDs 12k and 445nm blue. The baby ones are growing good.Should I move it? I thought if it didn't like where it was it would move.I do feed it sometimes with the baster, brine shrimp or Rods and it folds up like it is swallowing it. Any suggestions ? Anyone? All water parameters are normal.

Also when it started acting different was after I fed it a piece of Tilapia that I un thawed, a few hours after that was when it turned part of its internal mouth or something out,I really thought I was losing it, but now I'm used to it acting strange,it will look fully formed and healthy then a while later get deflated and sickly looking,it was a really small piece of fish I fed it too. I guess I'm just getting used to the strange behavior. How long do BTA,s live?

I wish I could help you. Everything else looks great and you say the baby's are doing fine so I wouldn't mess with anything. When it turns inside out like that it might be pooping. That's sounds like what my LTA used to do a long time ago (I don't have it any more).
Did it change color after turning inside out or was it already that color?
Are the baby's from this one or were they purchased separately?
How often are you feeding it?

Don't mean to keep going here,but I don't ever see BTA,s like mine in the LFS, it's almost a translucent with a little green in it,Is it a green BTA? I always see pinkish ones but never green ones in the LFS.
yes it is a green BTA that is bleached out
