BTA Can't Find A Happy Place

[udsmkh]

I have had my BTA for two months now and it has not stopped moving. I initially placed it on a rock "island" separate from the rest of the LR. The BTA has moved up, down and around the rock island several times but can't seem to be happy. It does not expand out like it wants more light, it actually stays some what deflated. All my softies, SPS and clam are doing great and growing.

I realize under normal circumstances you would not want to move a nem but I am wondering if I should move it to the rest of the LR so it can find a spot and stop moving.

The tank is an 11 month old 120 long, 3X 125W LEDs, 1.025 salinity, 8.3 pH, 0 amm 0 trite 0 trate, 80 F temp

Since it has not moved off that island I would leave it alone. It can travel on your sand bed to the other LR if it wants to.

Just let it be. I wouldn't move it this will only stress it out more. IMO it looks like it is starving based on how the tentacles look. I would let it be and give it more time to acclimate and once it settles in feed a pencil eraser sized amount of mysis soaked in selcon once a week.

Try not to irritate the nem,eventually it will settle

Agree with every one here my biggest mistake ever was moving my nem. It deflated for almost a week was sure hed die. But alive and well and growing !!
