Green Bubble Tip Anemone question

[Tonii]

Good morning guys,
On Wednesday I bought a GBTA from what appears to be a good LFS. After acclimating it, I placed it in an area where I hoped it would stay but the next morning it had moved behind one of the rocks. I moved it and placed it back in front of the DT, it stayed there all day until night time. The next morning it was back behind the rock. It's been two days now behind the rock l and it's not getting any light and its a little deflated but still attached to the rock. Should I just let it be or move it again?

Thanks

I would let it be. Make sure your tank is mature and your parameters and flow are in check. My did the same thing at first. It eventually found its favorite spot and hasn't moved in two years, but it has split once. Best of luck to you.

Ive heard that they will move to their favorite spot. Although I dont have one personally...I wonder if you could make his "favorite" spot become less favorite. IE move a powerhead to blow on him or something. We all get coral so you can see them lol someone has to have a trick.

Parameters and flow are good. Tank has been running for about 7 months now. I think Ill just let it be for a couple more days hopefully it will move. Thanks guys

I know they say these nems require bright light. Is it possible your lights are too bright? Also, light acclimation is important. Maybe turn your lights down and slowly ramp them up over the next week.

I have two Kessil A160WE with 45% max intensity in the middle of the day then back to 0 at night

Alot of people keep BTAs under metal halide, so whatever you have is probably not the problem. As long as he looks alive, leave him be. You can tear his foot by moving him. I was lucky with mine. I placed him exactly where I wanted him and he never moved. He will come out eventually on his own. Just be prepared to move coral out of his reach.
