Helllo, I having trouble placing my new bta in my tank. It came in on a large piece of live rock, it has now moved and stuck itself to the glass on the front of my tank. I try to move it and it gets upset curls up in a ball and lies on the botom of the tank for a few hours upside down. Then is climbs back up the front of my tank. Any advice on placement would be helpful. Thank you in advance for your help.
 
I have one that crawled around a lot before it finally found a place it liked. All over the glass and rocks. I tried to help it get to a good place and tucked it in there. Had to do that a few times until it finally liked a place well enough and just moved a little bit from there. It split after a while and one stayed there, the other crawled a foot away and found a place it was happy with.

They like to have a good hidden and protected place for their feet, decent light and moderate to low flow. I'd try to find a place like that for it and gently tuck it in there. The flow and the place for the foot seemed to be the most important thing as I've seen them in high light and much lower light.
