GBTA Question? HELP

[costa13]

I have had a GBTA for 2 weeks now. The first two weeks I had it was in the front of my tank and looking great. Now it has just moved to the back of my tank under a powerhead where it is getting very little light. Its tentacles have lost there bubbles I assume because of the lack of light. My question is should I try to move it or will it eventually move to a spot with more light? By the way I have a 150MH.
Thanks in advance.

I had a BTA and no matter where I placed it, it would just move back to where it wanted to be. I wanted mine in full view and closer to my lights since I just had T-5 lights, 3.9 watts per gallon. My BTA liked to move so that it faced the rear of my tank and it was under a ledge and in the shade. I even re-arranged my rockwork so that it would be on top and closer to the lights and it still moved. I have heard many people say to just do what it wants to do.

i move mine often to the front and it likes to be under something. so i but a big conch shell in the middle of the tank so it can hide under it but still be in view.definately move away from powerhead so you dont want it sucked up.

Thanks.
How should i remove it from my rock without tearing it? Also do you think it would move if it was getting inadequate light?

If its healthy and eating I would leave it be-they will move to spots where they are comfortable. :happyfish

leave it alone the more you mess with it the more stressed it will be.when it finds a spot it likes it will plant its foot.but i would take powerhead out if its moving you could have more problems,also it dosent have to be bubbled to be healthy i have a gbta and a rose and not bubbled,just give him time to adjust.whats your parameters?
