WaterDog May 1, 2010 Share May 1, 2010 There's this nice RBTA that I got that had settled in the front of the tank, nice to look at, easy to see. But as of this morning, it decided to move behind that rock. Normally I'd be ok with an anemone moving, but now that it's in the back you can't really see it and it's going to be a pain to feed. Is there any way to 'entice' it to move back up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheTerps May 1, 2010 Share May 1, 2010 Ive always heard people say to change the flow, point a PH towards it. That should make it move to a more comfortable spot, but no way to know where it may end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabrego May 1, 2010 Share May 1, 2010 I would give it some time to move around, chances are it is going to move some more. I had my baby bubble tip go for a walk over the last few days. I would give it a few days to makes it self comfortable and I would not worry about feeding it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I may end up doing, it's kind of out of any flow at the moment though, so I may have to get a little handheld powerhead.

Do they still move around after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind May 1, 2010 Share May 1, 2010 Do they still move around after that? Yes, they can and will move at anytime for what seems like no reason at all. Of the few that I have some will sit in one place for years while others move around every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterDog May 2, 2010 Author Share May 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the advice so far. Do anemones move when they want to split? Because this morning that's what it looks like: (The Wrasses and gramma picked now to be photogenic) I was planning on doing a weekly water change today. If the anemone is splitting, is it safe to carry through with this? Edited May 2, 2010 by WaterDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind May 2, 2010 Share May 2, 2010 Yes, they sometimes move to a secure spot so nothing will harm them. The picture isn't clear but it does look like it may be splitting. If it is you will know in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
