So got an rBTa yesterday.
Here’s a pic of where he was marked by the red x and how he got to where he is.

Should I worry about my duster?
I’m assuming he isn’t done moving
Is he just trying to get adjusted?

With rbta’s you never know- I have had them move all over the tank before they are settled. They have to find the right amount of light and flow to where they are comfortable. If he moves on top of the feather duster it shouldn’t kill it as long as you move the feather duster within the first day or two.

Even as we speak he was still on the move. Right before I left for work just a few minutes ago I checked him out and yeah he was even further down that rock. I guess I’ll see where he is when I get home. Did move my zoa who is on top of a little rock in the front of the tank just in case you decide to try and make his way that way

Well I hope you didn’t just jinx me! Called my BF on FaceTime and asked him to show me the nem and he has moved to the back of the rock! I asked him to update me in a few hours to see if he is still on the move
