| Re: shy BTA
Like clownfish said, move around the current some and see if it will move. I had one that was attached under a rock. It could either come out the front or back. Of course it always picked the back, so I put a flat rock over the back to block the light. It worked, so you could try that too. And as a last ditch effort, you could move the rock that the nem is attached to to a better spot.
But it might just act like the bta my dad has. That thing would not come out from under the rockwork and gradually lost its color. My dad moved the rock it was on several times to get it in the light, but it would always crawl back into the shade. Several months later he bought another bta. This one placed itself front and center where it could expand into the light or hide under a rock. Funny thing is a few weeks after it was in the tank, the poor faded bta moved right next to the new one! Now it's getting its color back and looks healthy as ever. I guess it just wanted a friend!
