    Well I noticed my gbta is only open at night. Its only been in my tank for probably 5 days, so I assume its still acclimating? Its weird bc during the day its deflated, but at night its full and open.

    is there a drastic lighting difference between where you bought it from and your current lights (assuming you bought it local). If your lights are a lot stronger than the others it may be taking time to adjust to your lighting setup

    More color is always a plus. How is the color looking?

    Good as far as I can tell. I don't see it when the lights are on, only when the lights are off so I can't make out a lot of color. I can tell it is greener though.
