Hey guys, wanted to ask about my BTA's behavior and if others have experienced it as well. So he used to always ball up a day after feeding and well I read that that was normal.

Now though, he balls up everyday at 5-6 pm, then slowly opens up over a few hours, then the next day he will be fully extended and happy.

Is this normal BTA behavior? I've read that they get into a routine, but just wanted to make sure.
 
Oh and parameters are as follows

Calcium : 490
Alk : 8.3-8.6
Nitrate : 25
Salinity : 1.026
Ammonia : 0
Nitrite : 0

Parameters are stable.
