ok when lights go out my BTA doubles in size and is HUGE but as soon as the lights go on about an hour in the BTA starts shrinking more and more

Re: could my BTA be nocturnal?
What kind of lights do you have and what kind of lights was it under where you bought it?

Re: could my BTA be nocturnal?
Sometimes anemones will shrink from the lights when they are bleached or about to bleach.But with 432 watts of T-5s,you've got plenty of light for it.
Try spot feeding it every other day for a while and see if that helps.Thats what I did with my BTA when I first got it.Now its huge and is out all the time. It takes up half my tank when its completely inflated.
