New BTA Questions

[jmessineo1]

I just got a green BTA yesterday from my local fish store, yesterday it acted weird and closed up as soon as the lights in the tank went out. When I woke up this morning it was upside down on the sand bed. I put it on top of one of the rock formations this morning and it has moved down to the sand bed, my roommate send it is attached to the rock bottom. I'm wondering if this is odd or if I should do anything else.

Tank is 40 gallon breeder
Ammonia-0
Nitrites -0
Nitrates -lowest on API test kit

Tank has a 4 bulb t5, two hydor 700gph power heads at each end.

Here is a picture sent from my roommate, let me know if you think it looks happy or healthy

anemones will move to where they are happy in the tank... What type of lights did the LFS have the nem under? Sometimes it takes them a while to get used to new lighting..

By the picture it loos healthy and happy. As long as the mouth is not gapping you are good.
How long have you had your tank up and running?

LFS had it under MH's and the tanks been up a little over 6 months

Any idea, why it may have been face down in the sand this morning

Only thing I can think of it did not like where it was and was trying to find a better location to host.
I have had a BTA do that before.. heck, one is on the move right now because I changed my lighting schedule and it is not happy about that.
