RBTA hiding in dark

This RBTA was in open in the store under 400MH.
At home i put it under 200LED (running at about %50 ) and it moved under the rock.
My GBTA is fine under the same conditions (same light, more flow).

Is it becase RBTA requirements are different, or does it have 'opposite' reaction to lack of light ? or lack of current ?

I put one in mine. Came from a fellow reefer with a bigger tank and stronger lighting it took a solid 2 weeks to adjust and find a spot (much of that was back behind the rock work) About a week after it settled it split and the larger piece moved again. Now one is in a shady spot and one is directly under one of my 150 MHs. Give it some time to find a spot
 
+1. I got mine from a fellow reefer who has an 8 t5 bulbs set up (vs my 6 t5). The nem walked a little but found a spot smack in the middle of the tank. It does close up at night and opens up during the day. Give it a few days - watch it though to make sure it doesn't walk into your pumps. Also the nem can and will sting your corals white.
 
These guys are right mine hid for almost 2 weeks then split after the healing they hang out in the same spot under the lights havent moved in 6 months
