My Rose split last night and the new BTA is not looking so good. It is completely deflated, but is moving. The powerhead next to it is off now. I have hose over it to keep them from getting destroyed. This morning a few tenicles were pulled to it but that is all.

Give it some time. Deflated isn't bad after a split. What you want to keep an eye on is the foot. Most nems will bounce back from most things but not if the foot is damaged. I would say in a week you will see alot of improvment, unless water quality is questionable.

The nem inflated a little this afternoon and I got a look at his mouth. It appears the mouth split and is on the edge. It looks horrible. Will he be able to repair himself? Do I need to keep the clownfish away from him?

The original is doing great. Aside from being much smaller, I can barely tell it even happened.

I tried to take pictures. It is hard to see why him deflated.
