Green LTA

[spluchino82]

I got a green LTA as a gift about a week ago. It was movin around alot and because I didnt know what to expect I was soooo paranoid. Finally 3 days ago, it began to plant it's foot between the sand bed and a hole in the rock base. Lastnight it had almost pushed it's way totally underneath the rock to the point of concern, for me at least lol. This morning.... Totally moved unplanted and wondering! What happened. Tank is about 3 months now but went for 2 years in another location. Live stock is fine. Ammonia 0, nitrates 10, nitrites 0, calcium a bit high not bad ( not home, going from memory) PH 8.0,phosphates 0.

its possibly looking for a good light/water flow spot.

what's tank size/lighting? water flow setup?

IMO, You do not have enough light or flow for a healthy LTA~M. Doreensis.
