Does anyone know what is up with my RBTA?

Poor photos, but it has been gradually developing.

Is it's stomach inverted?

I've got a rbta that's stomach is always inverted and it never looks healthy I think they are short lived when that happens...

How long have you had it? Do you feed it or not(don't always need to)? Moved it lately?
Tell us more about when you got it and what's happened since then ...

I have had it for a while, can't recall for sure but I would guess six to eight months.

Generally I feed it weekly, frozen HK Ocean Plankton or Mega Marine with a baster.

It hasn't moved in about 6 to 8 weeks and the last move I believe was prompted by harassment from camel shrimp which I finally eliminated about six weeks ago. It went into hiding for about a month, moved and shrivelled and lost it's colour over that month and then re-emerged 6 to 8 weeks ago.

Lighting would be considered weak by marine standards, it is about 12 inches under marineland double bright LEDs. But it seems to be adequate, it has grown considerably since when I first bought it after a split.
