I got a bta 15 days ago it has great color and has its bubble tips most of the time however its has never stayed in 1 place and today it has been just floating around with the current and appears to be splitting..my display tank is 50 gal, I have 2 aquabeam 600 led stripes one 20k and one 14k...around 1,650gph flow and parameters were phospate 0.04 and nitrate 0 -1....I got coraline algae growing and all anemone has plenty of room and all whyyyy is he not happy and do they tend to float when they split??

Where is your flow based? Top of tank middle or lower? They will move until they are happy they do not have eyes so they can not tell where they are going or can go so they might run circles until other wise. If you have another rock you had him on I'd suggest when he's floating try another rock. Have you fed him yet?
 
Flow is mid/top area...I have fed him once ...has never lost his great color or anything but last night while floating he got sucked up against the overflow box (luckily I had a guard on it) fortunately I happen to be standing there and got him off of it
