A little Help - Please

[sandry75]

Hello all,
I have a GBTA that I purchased about 4 months ago. It was placed right In front on a piece of live rock where it could sink it's foot into the rock and get a nice amount of light. After several days the BTA was wide open and looking great! Both clowns were in it all day long. It was a wonderful addition to the tank.

About two weeks later it moved to the underside of my live rock in the back of my tank and has stayed there ever since. I can only see it by looking through the side of the tank up under the rock work. It still appears to be healthy - both clowns (percula) still hang out in it periodically, but it is only opened a little bit and it gets very little light.

I would love to get it out in the open again where it was beautiful but I cannot reach it without taking the rock work completely apart. Can I persuade it to move with direct water flow or some other means??

Any suggestions would be great. I hate having such a wonderful invert and never having anyone see it - including ME!

Thanks in advance,
Sandry75

You can try adjusting the flow or rocks but unfortunately the anemone is going to go wherever it wants and is most happy. Oftentimes this does not coincide with where the owner thinks it should go. Try making small changes to your powerheads and just give it time.. in a few days, weeks, or months it may move again.
