Will my GBTA ever settle in?

I got a GBTA about a week and a half ago and this thing just cannot stay put. It has moved and moved and moved and can't seem to find a place it likes. I started by putting it rather low in the aquarium on a low rock and it has moved from there to the highest point and now it's upside down in a shady spot. It deflates and re-inflates every day and seems to poop a lot (looks like a brown pellet) foot is still a nice purple color.

My tank is 10 months old and very stable. I run 8 T-5s across 72" of tank (4 on each side, ATI bulbs). I use 2x koralia evo 1400s for flow alternating with the hydor smartwave (they are covered with foam just in case).

alk: 7.3 dkh (dosing to get up to 8)
ca:470
mag:1520
nitrate: 0.75
phosphate: 0.06
salinity: 1.025
temp: 77-78
I run GFO and carbon
 
Just give it time to acclimate to your system. He may be reacting to your Nitrates as well even though they are not high.
