Got this bubbletip on Saturday, been doing great. Hasnt moved from where I put it and has eaten once. Today hes stretched out a bit, think he wants more flow since hes between two rocks or more light? Hes under a kessil 360we thats about 10" above the water and is at 75% during the day.

It will find a spot then settle down. Let it have it's way. I quit directly feeding mine a long time ago, if they catch something when I feed the fish. Started with one, gave10 to LFS and still have 9 maybe a year after buying that 1st and only one.
If you want them to split or grow faster feed them. If you want them full and big let them catch what they can.

Let it get used to your tank, it doesn't seem bothered by the light, actually stretching a bit. It will find a nice spot soon, then it will find another. Mine all originated from one and they are scattered from the sand to the edge of the water at the top and they move, some fairly regularly, but not too far now. I won't have them in my SPS tank, when it is ready.
