got a bta 3 days ago from here puffed up right away
stayed good till my sump got low and shot bubbles at it
found it in the morn on sand upsidedown all puffed up
moved it back to top and when i got home it was under
rock.let it find its own place or move it?

I would just let it find its own place. Sometimes this can take a while and other times it is just a matter of days.

how often do you feed yours?and/what?

Leave it. Its natural for them to find a good cave/crevice to be able to hide/protect their foot and to withdraw into when distressed. It should strech out and open over the rocks to the light when ready/happy with a spot.

i see it sticking its foot out now btw,what are some
good sugestions for feeding .yesterday i opened up
a can of little shrimp[peoplefood]and took a piece,
set it on mouth and it closed a little .whatched and
it didnt spit out.good or bad?

We feed ours silver sides and it seems to love them. Ours also is under a rock ,then he moves to the back of the rock then to the holes in the rock.I think that they like to drive you crazy.

I mainly feed mine mysis, chopped krill and SS......oh, and metal halides
Packaged seafoods for human consumption may have chemical preservatives and seasonings that might not be healthy for aquarium livestock....IDK if yours did, Im just saying make sure they dont.

Found mine upside down as well, then looked closer into the rock and it has split. I found 2 or 3 more of them in the back of the rock. Must be hiding out until it feels safe again??? Only had it 3 or 4 weeks and it was out the whole time until it split.
