LTA help

[ll206]

Hi everyone. First I would like to thank everyone for all of the help and information you provided for me. I dont know what I would do without this message board. I have a question regarding my LTA. Is it suppose to open up all the way, and expand about 1/2 its size, when the light turns on. I also notice that when it is expanded and open, the tentacles look droopy and barly move. I've had it for about 6 months now, and its been acting this way for the past month. Water tests fine. Zero's across the board, incl. nitrates. Salinity 1.022-1.024. Its eating healthy, mysis or shrimp every 3 days, and he's attached to my live rock with plenty of substrate to burry its foot in. Im worried that it might not be getting adequate water flow or light. Any suggestions would help. Thank you

What kind of lights and how many watts do you have on there?

Just repeating vipers question of wattage and also wanted to ask more specifics like size of tank, do you have corals also, etc. For short period of time the LTA does get droopy and not as open sometimes. It is good to do a check though and do a small water change and see if that helps. Also if you dont have enough lights then upgrade to save it.
