So I’ve had this BTA for a few weeks now, it originally had bubbly tentacles but after a few days they were more stretched out and have mostly stayed that way.

It generally seems happy and colorful and is growing, but was curious if there was an obvious cause or if it’s just going to be like this until it decides otherwise?

Parameters consistently in range:

Nitrates: 10-20
Phosphates: 0.1-0.15
Alk: 8-9
Calcium: 400-420
pH: 8.1
Salinity: 35 ppt
Temperature: 77 +/- 0.5
PAR: 200-250 (it’s closer to the lights than my acros at the other end of the tank, and they seem happy enough)
Flow: It’s nestled into a low/mid flow area
Feeding: Mysis 3-4 times a week
