Ah, good info. When my BTA was new, shrimp would steal its food as well. In a few months, yours should colour up more, get stickier & the shrimp will no longer be able to do this.

Since it's been in that spot for a couple of weeks now, it's clearly content there. However, there are no guarantees it won't move again & being that close to the VorTech could spell disaster.

I'd try moving the rock as I mentioned in my earlier post. Then keep an eye on it for a while & see if it stays put in the new location. BTAs do like hollows & since it's found one in the rock it's on, chances are good it's comfortable & may stay on that rock if you can find a location with similar conditions elsewhere in the tank.
