Hey all! So I just got this gorgeous helio, only problem is I think it might be a little too large for the tank, haha. When its asleep, it fits in the corner of my tank pretty well with about half an inch or inch on all sides. However, during the day it swells up as they do and on two sides it hits glass and on one other side, it hits a little bit of rock. I'm a little worried since they're so delicate, but there isn't really another place it will fit without the same issues.
Anyone see any issues with it being there like it is? I plan on turning my eel tank into a reef, but as of yet it doesn't have good lighting. Wondering if I should just bite the bullet and get a reefbreeders 24" or something. If its alright where it is, then Ill hold off for a little while.

So moving it to the right 7 or 8 inches is out of the question? These things can move on there own if they want to, but it almost looks like it's trapped in that corner from the first picture. It might be fine where it's at, but the fact that it keeps swelling up on a regular basis could be an indication that it wants to move someplace else. (or just the freedom to do so)

I have a large piece of plate rock that if it moved over, it would be in the shade. I could potentially put it in the back of the tank but it would be close to a small frogspawn that if the helio tried moving could make contact. I heard they rarely recover from stings...
