razzpatazzz September 21, 2017 Share September 21, 2017 I have a RBTA that currently is losing color and fading like this https://i.imgur.com/V5iGR6M.jpg This has been the case ever since the rock the RBTA is on tipped over and changes the location of the anemone. I am guessing it is not happy with the amount of lighting or flow in his current location and I want to move it but it won't budge from the crevice it is in. Is there any way to coax it into moving out of his spot and into the main rockwork? Or could it be a completely different issue? It has not really moved during this period.

ReefAddict September 22, 2017 Share September 22, 2017 If they are unhappy they typically move on their own. I have 4 in one of my tanks. 3 haven't moved more than an inch, 1 moved constantly until it found its happy place. I would just leave it be for now and observe.

Will the anemone move across gaps in rocks or across sand? I was just worried because he looks smaller and faded in color over months without him moving at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerek2 September 22, 2017 Share September 22, 2017 Here is my healthy ones. Along with a light starved one. They move across whatever they want. They outsmart me every day and they don't have a brain. If it's doing the deflating "water change" thing and gaping mouth that's worse than a no light faded nem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it sounds like it's not in a huge trouble or anything. Hopefully it recovers from whatever is causing it problems soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmerek2 September 24, 2017 Share September 24, 2017 (edited) My advice is leave it alone. Don't feed it. And keep things stable and happy. My light starved one pictured had came out from under that magnet there on its own. The bugger Took a week or two to figure out it wasn't getting enough light Edited September 24, 2017 by gmerek2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
