Should I intervene RBTA's chosen home?

[Mightyfish]

I bought this RBTA a few days ago. It moved away from where I placed it and have chosen it's new home and seem to be happier there. However, only half of its body and tentacles are exposed on top of rocks and the other half is under the rock which it wont get any light. I am worried that it will suffer from lack of light so should I intervene it or move to somewhere else?

They will move where they like the flow/light the best. They will also contract into tiny spaces occasionally. Its not likely to put itself in a spot where it won''t thrive. If it's a spot you can enjoy seeing it I'd leave it alone.

Keep your hands dry....it WILL go where IT wants.

Once it is acclimated to its new location it will almost certainly orient its disc towards the light. My BTA prefer to set their foot first and then stretch to where they want to be. Kind of like buying a house, first you figure out where you want to be then you figure out the rest.
