GBTA doesn't like lights?

[strgazr27]

I stopped at TI on the way home the other day just to look and came home with a beautiful pair of clowns (One misbar) and a really nice GBTA at a great price.

The clowns had to beat up a Domino for the Nem but they were sleeping comfortably in it last night much to my happiness. Now here is the issue...

Whenever the lights come on the Nem shrinks into a ball and looks like a pile of crap. Water is about as perfect as I can get it save for a slightly high calcium level.

NH3 : 0
NO2 : 0
NO3 : 15
PH : 8.4
Cal : 500
Dk : 9
Sal : 1.025
Temp : 78

My first thought is to give it another day or 2 to settle in. Any thoughts?

Here it is from this morning 30 minutes after my Actinics came on....

U just put it in? Might need to get used to the lights.

Good info.

yea i had a similar issue when i put in my RBTA, thought it was going to die but few days later it had moved to a new spot in the tank and is doing well and taking food.

Sounds like it is adjusting to the lights in ur tank which r stronger than it is used to.

How long has the tank been running? Usually it is recommended to put a nem in a mature tank though I'm not sure of the specific reason cited.
