Hi guys. I need some guidance with my GBTA. I bought him about 1 week ago and in the first few days he moved from where I put him to near the back of my tank. He's been in the same spot for 2 days now but it's not a great spot. It's not out in the direct light and it near impossible to feed him there. I've tried to feed him small pieces of silverfish but he won't grasp them. During the day (when all lights are on) he is not fully inflated but will inflate pretty big when it's just my blue lights on. Is he just adjusting to my tank and will move out into the light later or should I move him myself? He's in a 90g with T5 lighting and good water quality (0/0/0).

Well with anenomes they will move were they like current flow lighting etc. (read in marine fish and reef and forums) he/she could be getting used to the lighting and tank. i would monitor for about a week. also for the eating in the marine fish and reef mag i got they only need to be feed once a week so can be stress induced or not hungery.

I would say that he is just adjusting,, he will go where he is happiest.. I would also not worry about feeding him,,, this Is a pic of my RBTA and I NEVER feed him directly. he gets whatever is in the tank
