Hi, recently setup a nano (24g) and using a sunpod 150w halide. The sunpod is just resting on top of tank using those standard legs (using megachrome blue bulb with a icecap fan). Anyway, got a RBTA 4 days ago and took a few hours to get him to anchor it's foot into a live rock with good size hole in it (isolate rock, turning it, powerhead, etc..). First day, the rbta was in it's rock on the sand bed. Second day, I raised the rbta to about 7 inches under the light. Would this be too much light for the rbta? It bubble tips are all inflated and ate a small chunk of mysis and raw shrimp yesterday. I've read that too much or too little light can cause bleaching. Thoughts?

It will move if not comfortable so I would just leave it be for now.

+1, leave him be. they are almost maintenance free IMO. I rarely feed mine, about once every two weeks I give him a piece of shrimp (frozen krill i think what they are called). he moves whenever he wants and could stay there as long as he wants too.
