A while back I bought a rbta and a pair of clowns (in hopes they would host it). The rbta roamed the tank and found it's favorite place. All was well until I tried upping the light (led) intensity. I took 4weeks to increase the lighting by 15%. And noticed it was to much light for my tank. The rbta foot let go of it's rock (looks slimy) corals start to bleach and had a diatom outbreak. Since then I have returned lighting to previous setting and place rbta in the corner ( still able to get light and water movement). And placed rubble around it so to keep it from floating around the tank. The corals have returned color and the rbta opens when the lights come on. But the foot still won't attach to a rock and still looks slimy.

Any advice as to what to do or expect will be appreciated.

Thanks,
 
I would just give it time it needs time so it not stressed so let him do what he wants and if he starts to roam just shut ur pumps of for a while he'll be okay if he was just high stress levels... Goodluck and hope he does great!
