I got mine a week ago - it opens and closes daily.
It does get REALLY open, and then REALLY closed!! It closes to the point where you think it's dead at like 3-4", and then in the morning it'll be like 8" wide, tentacles extanded.
It's also climbing ALL over the place!
Up until the Ich attack, my O Clowns didn;t pay any attention to it, so I'm going to try what others have said, and get a smaller tank, and put the GBTA and the clowns in there for a few days and see what happens.
I also have a LTA in the tank as well. It does the SAME thing.
You'd think it was dead, and then in the morning BAM! It's like 4-6" wide, and happy as heck!
My wife calls these the Sopa Opera of the Ocean.
It;s dead - it;s alive. It;s dead, no, wait, it's alive.
They are cool, though, especially watching the GBTA move all over the place!

Wierd, I fed him and he perked right up. Maybe I am not feeding enough. How offten should they be fed?
Pretty GBTA!
How often have you fed, what have you fed, etc.? It depends on the 'nem, and what you want to happen. I feed all my bta's multiple times daily, but I want them to grow as fast as possible for propagation. Three times a week is probably good for maintaining an otherwise healthy bta.
How long have you had it? It can take weeks for them to recover from changing tanks, too.

Like everyone else said, your GBTA is bleached and is probably going to continue to bleach. There's something bothering it in the tank.
What are your tank parameters at?

I have MH and vho actinics. How often do you suggest feeding it. I do soak in selcom. It's color had not changed since I got it home about a month ago. Hasn't move much in the tank. Only to the corner when first in the tank and today because I changed the flow in the tank.
Here's a picture that is more accurate as far as it's color

Are you sure it hasn't lost any zooxanthellae algae? I am postive that your GBTA has significantly lost zooxanthellae based off your first pictures comparing them to your latter ones.
