So... a couple months ago I had gotten my fourth RBTA (1-3 had died for one reason or another). After a couple weeks I was afraid this one was going to go the way of it's predecessors.
I'm happy to say, that after two-ish months, it's tentacles are growing back and it's looking great! I can't completley say what caused it to make such a good come-back, but I know for a fact part of it was that my LED's were too strong. I had dropped them back from 75% down to 50%. They're now at 60%-65% during the peak 4 hours. The lights are an inch or so higher then they were when I had them at 55% too.
Anyway, I've been taking photos of it's recuperation...
Day 1: This is when I flipped the rock it was hiding under for two weeks, eating it's tentacles.
Day 3: It's taking food, but still doesn't look good...
Day 5: It's looking a little more stable, still taking little bits of food
Day 8-ish: Slowly looking better. I started feeding it larger pieces of squid to get it more nutrients
Day 10: Tentacles growing back in
Day 13: Getting lots of color back
My pair of clowns started hosting
Day 17: Still growing tentacles out, switched position sligtly
Today... doing great, still growing back it's tentacles.
