    Okay, so it has been a full week now, it still has not moved, or come back. it still looks the same. I have not fed it anything since ive had it, would feeding it help? I only have PE mysis.

    If this thing ends up dying will it detach from the rock? or will it still be attached?

    I recently ripped my GBTA foot and he has fully recovered but from what i gather if they dont look like they are bleaching or showing signs of stress i.e. turning upside down or fully deflating for long period of time and staying closed they will be okay just tough things to care for. I have had mine almost a month now and havent fed it yet.

    Yeah, mine are on and off with mine..I have had them for about 5 months and they are hosting a piece of LR in the tank. But then i added the nem and so they are kinda confused on which one to pick.

    what lights was it under at the lfs? its probably just ajusting to your light. they wont open up all the way if the light is too strong. it will eventually acclimate though. they only open fully to get the max amount of surface area exposed to the light but if thats not needed then they just wont open all the way
