Anemone on the lam

[debbiedebs]

anyone have any advice for an bubble anemone who won't stop moving? I originally found a great smooth spot for it where his foot would be nice and protected, great water flow, ample lighting, and it ran away in to a rocky hole with no lighting and it's been on the run since to places similar. Does he not like lighting possibly? He's healthy, tentacles sticky, hosting a clown. I now have him on a secluded rock and he roams all over the one rock. suggestions PLEASE! I'm tired of the stress of making sure he has enough lighting and playing this hide and seek!

yes, you can send him to me!
j/k let it go where it wants, it will find a place that it feels comfortable eventually. what kind of lighting/water flow do you have? since it is mobile make sure all your intakes are covered so it wont get caught and killed.

agree, let him off that rock to roam. my bta moved everynight for over a month. found him all over the place, even caught it swimming and once i saw it jump off the top into the substrate!

for 7 days now its been in the same spot. very center of my tank about half way up. I did two things. once she landed in this perfect spot for the day, i started to play with my powerheads (im a newb and im sure they arent optimal still for the tank.. but)
I moved one over so the bta got much more circulation than i thought it would like, tenicles swaying, she seems to love the flow

second, i turned on a lunarlight as soon as my reg light went off and left it on all night.. i tried turning off the lunar two hours after reg lights, and shes still in the same spot.. so.. its making me happy.. lol
