BTA shrinkage :(
Hi guys,
A few months back, I had purchased a large & healthy GBTA for my 55g mixed reef tank. My concern is it has slowly reduced in size since I purchased it and has gone from 8" to 4" in diameter in a matter of 6 months. I feed it diced shrimp, silver sides, formula 1 , once or twice a week. I also have a 4" perc that refuses to leave the BTA. Physically the BTA looks fine, no bleaching no gaping mouth, but the tentacles that used to be 6-7 " long have gone down to 4"  What is causing my BTA to slowly reduce in size?? What should I be doing so I can keep her nice, big & healthy?? Thanks. Parameters: PH 8.4 Alk = 13 dkh Salinity 1.25 NH4=0 NO2=0 N03= 0.5 (**do not have a refugium) PO4=0 Aquac remora Mag3 Light 4X T5 SLR |

How is your water flow and how old are your bulbs?
