Ok so I am giving this another shot.
Here is a small RBTA I picked up while in Georgia.

had it covered day 1 with the lights on low to get it planted on the rock i put it on.
day 2 uncovered with lights on manual about 40% blue and 15% white
tomorrow i will set lights to auto which should go to 80% blue and 50% whites at most with ramp up and down.
Minimal flow on it.
So far so good.

Thanks im hoping it doesnt move. Its on a perfect rock, nice size crevices to hide its foot. It is not in direct light, its more on the angle of the light so it has the option to either retract into the rock since the crevices are big enough, or move backwards into another crevice of the rock. Moving forward would put it more into light.
I am keeping the flow on the side a little lower, normally have a small head down there but i moved it up higher in the tank so nothing is giving a direct blow down there.
So far so good.

OMG....
So Nem has been good, looking great, normal light schedule today and it still in place...

So i decide to try to feed the nem a piece of krill.....
with a baster i suction one and place it by the tenticles and it grabs it quick. I was super siked....
Here come my Cleaner shrimp and rip it out completely from the nem and run away... Double U TF....
I dont want to stress the nem so I dont want to try again....

My shrimp do that all the time. My solution was to feed the shrimp directly until they are full then feed your nem.

Looking great so far. Has eaten 2 times a piece of krill. I had to feed the shrimp and still fight them off while the nem ate.

funny thing... I havent see it expell anything ever or deflate...
it eats and gets puffy but never deflates.
