Added my first RBTA to my reef tank two days ago and it has decided to crawl inside the rockwork (I understand they keep their column in the shade). However, it is hanging on the underside of large piece of rock and its tentacles look fully inflated (bubbles and all, not just stringy) but only about 25% of its tentacles are in direct light. The rock pile it is on is under a 250w MH and it is about 18" from the light source.
So, should I try and take the rock pile apart and move it into the light more, or just let it do its own thing? Will it probably move out into the light once it gets acclimated? Also, if I should have to move it, are there any tricks to get it to detach from the rock? I don't want to force the issue and risk injuring it if I don't need to move it.
Thanks! -Jeff
