BTA's and Light

[roadkeel]

How can I tell if my BTA is getting too much light? I moved one from my cube which has Steve's LEDs in it to my 90 gallon tank with 2 Reef Radiances 155e's and the nem has yet to open back up. I moved it Sunday morning. The water quality in the 90 is probably better than my cube. Temp is almost the same in each tank (78.8 vs 78.9). Everything tests good in the 90 so I am not sure why it refuses to open.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here is a picture of it in the cube and then in the 90 gallon...

it is just shell shock... give it more time and it will move if it needs to get out of the light more...

Thanks for the advice. This is the first BTA I have put into my big tank, so I am worried about it being in too much flow, not enough flow, too much light, not enough light. I have the Reef Radiances dialed to about 20% of the white and 60% of the blue. The whites stay on from 8:00 - 6:00 and the blues stay on from 6:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night.

seems like a good light pattern and brightness for it... how far is it from the light?
Just remember.. if a nem is not happy, it will walk around to find it's happy place. I just had one that sat still for 6 months, and not it moved 5 inches and hangs out under the lip to a cave... it pokes out every day and it's tentacles get all bubbly... just needed a change of scenery I guess.. LOL

The other 6 have not moved in the longest time... I'm guessing it might be one day they do, and I hope I am around... hate for them to fight each other for a space.
