Anemones and power heads.

What are the most likely nems to roam/crawl up the glass. I keep a close eye on all my inhabitants and none of them go high, especially up a wall. Still trying to figure out a good permanent safety solution. I'm sure it's going to happen the moment I go vacation.

Are Mags the biggest culprits? Looking at Reefaholic's posts, his Mags seem to love the power heads more than the tank itself.
 
Mag's definetly wonder when they aren't happy. Apparently they don't like the nitrates and PO4 in my tank.

RBTA are notorious for inflating to move location and getting sucked into powerhead.

Although a mag doesn't move when they find their sweet spot and the parameters are stable....I wouldn't take a chance because you never know when something may irritate them and provoke a move.

All of them.

The one you paid the most for.

The one that has never moved before causing you to get lazy and not cover your power heads.

Putting a foam cover over your PHs is responsible husbandry.
 
Cover.

Cover.

All of them.

Dealing with major issues with a Brook outbreak, but will build proper covers sooner than later. Probably a variation of Reefaholics design, the wp40 are large.

The reason I asked about the glass seems like some Nems always want more light and will climb higher at every chance. Others like rock/sand combo.
 
The most problematic are the BTA and Magnifica. I have had unhappy Haddoni pull up and move right into the PH and got chew up pretty good. Both time they live to tell about it.
Malu also move if they are unhappy. Essentially all will move if unhappy but BTA and Magnifica are the worst.
