first of all, GREAT board!!
now my problem: about a month ago my RBTA got sucked into my powerhead. i thought it was a doomed! after i shut off the powerhead my percula got it loose. it took a while to open back up but it did. alot of it's tenticles are ripped. it moved to the far side of the 20 gallon tank and placed itself under my bio-wheel filter. it opened fully soon after the incident(about 8 inches long). last week it shrank up under the filter hiding from the light(130watt pc). it is eating but wont extend into the light. is this normal? sg is 1.023 and ph is between 8.0 and 8.3. ammonia is 0. water temp 75*. any idea what is wrong? i notice a green tint on it's tenticles twords it's body. i starting to get concerned. thanks in advance for any help...

Hi & welcome to the board!
It sound to me like it's still recovering. What, how much, and how often are you feeding it?
Your temperature is a little low.

Don't worry about the green tint, it is his natural color. Mine has it too, not sure if all RBTA's do though.
