First off [welcome] You say your water tested perfect, could you please provide the #'s ( helps alot).
Have you changed anything recently? Lights? Added/Removed a powerhead?

How big was it (bta) before it went into hiding??
What else do you have in the tank?

There is a chance that is has ( or is ) spliting.

What type of lights do you have?
What ( if you do ) feed the BTA.
