Hey Reefers,
I’m on day 28 acclimation with new AI prime hd.
My Reef has been under stock led biocube hood
For a year.Tank depth is 15 inches & light is 12 inches above tank.I snapped a pic of what I believe 2b peak.I am monitoring my bta (just retracted in pic) & Rock flower nem(also retracted) in next pic.(Q:is this normal during peak?) Also I have 2 clowns hosting the BTA & I
Saw them take a small piece of shrimp to the nem.(Q:What should I be doing to keep my bta
Happy & healthy?It moved from the front 2 back
for flow the 1st night & stays there but I see a gap
Zone around it’s mouth at times that makes me a bit nervous (don’t want 2 see inversion).Hit me up
& assist please.....

Keep water parameters super stable, provide lots of light, and don’t touch him again.
They will always move to the spot of their choice (not always does this make the aquarist happy).
Small squirt of mysis, maybe a fingernail Size piece of raw shrimp once per month

Wow-I was surprised at how little the BTA eats..
My Clowns took a small nip of shrimp & fed it to it
Once...They probably know how much it likes to eat...I will some mysis like you said & not touch him...I haven’t touched it since I put him in about
a week ago..my prime hd is now running 30/40 range during daytime...with 28 days left/acclimating..
 
He eats light!
He will keep moving until he finds his spot. Trying to move them really po’s them.
I have seen people kill BTA by over feeding!
have fun
