a little help with my trach please

i got this new trachyphelia about a week ago. its pretty bleached and deflated. at night it seems to inflate more. ive tried to feed it but it dosent put out its feeder tentacles. right now i have it in a low light area of the tank. i only have 4x65 watt pc but t-5s are on the way. should i just keep it in the shady part of tank for awhile? are there any tricks to get them to eat? what are some other pointers?

now

it looks more bleached now than it did when i got it, but i think it could be because it is inflating a little more. what can i do? would it be a prob to leave it in the dark for 3-4 days? am selling my pcs and my my t-5s should be here on thurs?
