Crud! I was doing a water change when my hose crept too close to the bta, and I ended up pulling off a few tentacles. I siphoned te few that weren't taken immediately. And of course the nem is hiding out.

Any idea of what I can expect? He had just started coming out after the last split. If he hides for too much longer he will be very white.

So danged clumsy.

My last RBTA went through a K3...all of the tentacles were shredded. She was left with zero tentacles and they slowly grew back. Took a long time but she didn't die. I think as long as the foot doesn't get mangled they will bounce back.

I did this exact thing a few months ago, wasn't paying attention to where the hose was sucking and really gave the poor RBTA a rough time. Within a couple of days, it split into two happy healthy RBTAs. So your poor nem is stressed, but should be fine as long as all the other conditions remain stable.

Thanks guys. Forgot about the k4 debacle.

I sure hope he doesn't split though.
