I added another BTA to my tank two weeks ago. It was very small, about 1-1.5" in diameter. I shutoff the flow in the tank and placed it in a crevice where it could move in and out of while it acclimated. After a few hours it went into a cave created by one of the base rocks. I could see it near the entrance of the cave for the first three days but it wasn't getting any light there. On the 4th day I could no longer see it as it had gone deeper in the cave where it stayed for about a week. Yesterday, it moved back towards the entrance of the cave but it's still not getting any light.
It's under of one of the base rocks so it'd be a lot of work to move around all the rocks and corals above it if I wanted to try to remove it. I'm just concerned about it not going out for light at all. It's been hiding for 2 weeks now but fortunately is still inflated. I'm assuming it's just weak because it's so small and is taking longer to get used to the tank. How long should I give it before I take apart the aquascape in that part of the tank to try to remove it?
I have 3 other BTAs in the tank all of which are looking great and haven't moved.
