anemone restless

[Tazz11]

I have had my BTA for approx. 3 months now and it has been doing great . First couple of day he moved arround until he found a spot he was comfortable n but than did great. About two weeks ago I added approx 20 new pounds of LR to the tank and since that time he has not gotten comfortable any place in the Tank. I have found him behind the overflow pressed up against the back of the tank. he is now on the overflow close to a power head and I'm affraid he might get caught in it. Is there anything I should do, or should I just let him find his happy place again ? The other concern is that my poor Clown has no place to go now and is very confused as the power head is keeping him away. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!

Make sure your powerhead is covered. If possible aim the powerhead at the anemone (not directly!). This should cause the anemone to move. I am interested in some pictures of your anemone.

Is it feeding well?
Is it a nice brown color?

Color seems to be good and I fed it by hand Yesterday. I also tried to get it to move by aiming the powerhead at it yesterday, and it made no difference. I ended up turning off after lights turned off. and back on today. I'll try to get some pics posted but camera not very good

New live rock can make ammonia SPIKE, is there any changes in the water.

Here are a couple of pics the best I can do without a better camera

Hope they help!!!

My opinion on the matter is that the addition of new rock most likely changed the current flow in your tank. The new current flow was probably not to the liking of your BTA so it moved in search of a new place to call home.

That too. Good thinking.
