new Green BTA went hiding in the rocks. comes out when the lights off

[steve2121]

i placed this thing in the corner of the tank. The first day he climbed up the glass a little bit. Over night he crawled to the other side of the tank and wiggled his way deep into the rocks and attached upsidedown to a rock. I only see a few of his bubbles. When I turn the light off overnight, he stretches out and shows off the big bubbles and crawls out of the hole a bit. during the day with the light on, he deflates and goes hiding. Normal? Not likely reading everyone elses posts.
its a 75g with 6 36" T5's at 39w each.

If the anemone is new to your tank, give it time. It's getting acclimated to it's new home and lighting as long as your tank is well established and water parameters are up to par. If the anemone is moving, make sure your powerheads and filter intakes are covered.

BTA's are notorius for this behavior. They generally like to plant their foot in a protected area like under the rock or in a crevice and then stretch out when they need light.
