GBTA at bottom of tank

[cphelps80]

Can anyone please explain? Everything I have read about BTA's are that they like medium to strong flow of water and preferably strong lighting. I have introduced a GBTA to my tank about 18 days ago, he's moved around and found somwhere that he presuambly enjoys. The only thing is; that he is attached to a rock at the bottom of my tank and is as far away from a powerhead and light as he could be. I tried adjusting my powerheads so that he gets more flow but then he just moves again. I have a RIO 180 tank (45 gallon) with two HO 15000k T5's with reflectors, the overall flow in the tank is about 640 gph (about 15x overall volume). The anemone looks fine but I'm but I'm a bit worried about bleaching and curious as to why it seems to be the opposite of everything I've resarched. Any ideas?

if it looks healthy right now, i'd leave it. he should know where he likes to be. just monitor the color.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, the colour looks ok the fleshy part is a nice pink and the tentacles are green but not vibrant, it seems to be in a figure of eight shape when fully open, could it be that it is splitting?

hard to say going by the shape. when they are about to split, they usually spread their foot out wide. and their foot is usually out in the open, not buried in a crevice or cave. it is possible yours got pi$$ed off, moved and now it's going to split.
