What kind is it and what is it doing?  Sometimes they just close up for a while.

How long have you had it?  Could it be that it is having too much flow?  Mine while not a BTA hates direct flow.  Usually if they are unhappy with something they wander around the tank for a while.

Ours do that when they are unhappy, when they find somewhere in the tank they like they stop and open back up.  Keep us posted on yours.

Do you use AC (activated carbon) to help filter the water?
