BTA trouble?

[petea]

I purchased a BTA for my Clown on sunday and it has not moved from the bottom of the tank. It is on the bottom of a piece of liverock pretty much on the substrate. Should i worry? It looks healthy but the tenticles are short and bubble tipped. Also i tried to feed it krill yesterday but it would not eat. Any suggestions or help is appreciated. Thanks

how big is the tank? what kind of lighting/how much lighting? water parameters?

As patriots81 mentioned the more info you can give us the better the advice we can give you. Pictures are always a big help.

More then likely it is making an adjustment to your lighting and other tank variables. Once it settles in it will move into the light. If by this Sunday it hasn't moved then you might want to turn the rock so it can get some light. Keep trying the food.

It is an 8g biocube everything lighting wise is stock. Water params are spot on. I will try to post pic later today. Color is good just seems like it is not a good spot for him.

also, it is in the light. it is not covered at all

That is a small tank for an anemone. I still think it is just adjusting to the tank and it should start to look better as time goes on if everything is up to par as far as your tank goes.

When were the bulbs changed? How long are they on for?

bulbs are new actually replaced the entire hood about a week ago. Will keep you posted. Thanks for your help.

yes, but what is the type of bulb (power compact/T5/MH, etc) and the wattage.
