Bought a GBTA about 2 weeks ago, has been eating raw shrimp every two days... It attached itself to a great lighting spot on my LR near the top and perfect viewing angle....Opens every day and closes up at nightime

Now just two days ago it has moved to the bottom of the tank near a cave.....It is fully open and looks good just a bad spot for lighting, viewing, and target feeding....

will it move soon or should I try to force it to move (powerhead).....because I know it will not get the lighting it needs

I'd leave it be unless it's in danger of being sucked into a powerhead.

It will move to a spot that gives it the proper light and waterflow. Mine would move about pick a spot stay for a few days and then move again. He finally found the right spot and has not moved in 4 months.

apparently when it moved to the top the light was to much. A nem will move where its happy. It moved to a spot that is just right for it. My GBTA did the same. Hopefully will move when it gets use to the light. Just let it go and keep feeding him.Good luck PP
