Does anyone else's bta deflate daily? Every night around the same time my bta will deflate. The next day its puffier than ever. Is this normal? The two pictures are about 90 min apart.

Deflating some at night is a normal thing. Deflating that much every night with it's mouth gaping open is a pretty bad sign. Have the tentacles been shrinking or the number of tentacles been decreasing at all? Or do you see any stringy, light or dark brown stringy threads on any part of the tentacles?

Nope. In fact it has grown and keeps growing.
 
Ya, try feeding less. It's probably puking it's guts out because it's stuffed. I used to feed nems cut up silversides, and they would look horrible after. Now they get a little squirt of reef roids, or catch some. Mysis here and there and they are out of control.... They shrink a little at night but not a ton.
