Default BTA hates light!!

I got a BTA about a month or so ago and put it in my frag tank just to have something else to look at and my maroon clown hosted it right away. Weird thing is though is that it ONLY opens up under actinics and hides itself when the daylights come on. Any ideas why? Thanks

Might whant to do some searching on Wet Web Media.

Im sure there is volumes there on anemones and it would take some poking around but Im sure you could find some helpful info.

In my past experiances with BTA's,they all reacted differently to my lighting .2 died and 2 thrived and spawned.If it is not eating and moves around alot he is probably not happy in your system.Usually when thet stay put there happy,although yeah i know they dont have brains,but they do show a form of emotion.

It stays still, has been in the same spot nearly since I got it. I guess I will just wait and see and keep researching further.
