A week ago, I got a nice-sized (and apparently very healthy) GBTA from my LFS. For the first couple days it sat right where I put it and it expanded beautifully. On the third day, it relocated the main part of it's body under the live rock, and extended it's tentacles through every available opening to get some light and flow.
Now, the past couple of days it has crawled even further under the rocks and is not extending it's tentacles very much at all.
It was kept under PC lighting (for a short time) at the LFS. I have 250w 14k MH lighting in my tank. I'm not sure what this behavior means. Is it trying to get away from the bright lighting? Is it dying? Is this normal?
My water params are "perfect". I keep mainly SPS corals and they are all doing great.
Temp ~80F
SG 1.025
PH 8.1
Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates are ZERO
I dose and test daily .. my Alk, Calc, and Mag are kept at levels approximating those of NSW.
