[i<3fish]

My BTA overnight just became really weird. The tentacles are really stringy, and it looks like a spider web thing coming out of its mouth. t was fine last night. Any suggestions?
EDIT: It is now really small... it looks like its dieing.

It is now almost fully closed. It looks like its dead, but I am not sure. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Well I have had him for 4 days now. He was fine, then all the sudden just shrivled up and looks like its dead. Also, what about the spider web stuff tht is coming out of the anemones mouth?

That might be his stomac.

So I am guessing thats a bad thing...? Is he going to die? Should I turn his rock over so he is facing the light?

 

[crox]

I will. And I did it myself.

 

[i<3fish]

Huh? I dont understand.

 

[crox]

I am sorry. I meant you should move the rock so he's under the light.

Lol, thats what I thought you said. I did that, and he is doing GREAT! Better then ever accually. I also tried to feed him for the first time. I fed him some thawed frozed shrimp (raw and unprocessed). I cut a piece about as big as his mouth and used a turkey baster and dropped it on his mouth. He immediatly ate it. I am excited. SHould I try feeding him another peice? Or should I just feed a little peice 1 time a week? I dont see why it could hurt if I tried to feed him 1 more peice, huh? Thanks!

I fed mine for the first time last night. I guess he was so hungry. He grabbed the mysis and immediately he tranferred to his mouth.
