GBTA question

[polarbear]

So I had 2 GBTA's in my tank and I noticed that one of them was shrinking in size. It was the one right next to where the clowns had been laying their eggs. Well it finally disappeared and I thought it was gone for good. Came home today and found it on the sand bed under a rock where the pistol shrimp is housed. I fished it out and placed it in a container. It's pee'd off and about the size of a nickel. It started off the size of a large orange. Is there a way to save the GBTA? Is there a way to leave it in the container and place it in the tank until it starts to do better? Maybe cut some holes in the container so that water can flow through it? Light will be able to go through the lid. I'm thinking about taking it to work and placing it in my 14 gallon biocube. I have led lights on that tank. I just want it to get better before placing it in the tank at work. Any info will help. Thanks.

It's likely small only because its unhappy. I don't see why your idea wouldn't work. Make sure there are enough holes for good flow.

I figured it was just mad but was concerned because before it detached it was starting to shrink.

Well I think you should isolate it either way. If it does go south, it'll be easier to remove quickly

That's true. I just put a piece of live rock in with it. Going to give it a while in the container out side of the tank to see if it will attach.
