Can there be too much flow for an anemone?

[SeanT]

My anemone just won't stay put.
Everyday it is in another spot.

Obviously it is not happy.

Flow and light will make it move, what do you have?
What nem?

My bta's hate direct hard flow, makes'em move every time. They like a gentle indirect current that slowly sways there tentacles back and forth in the water.

Thats bta's though. Knowing what kinda nem you have would help us out.

RBTA he posted about it a couple weeks ago, he has been wandering for about a month i think.

thanks- I had no idea!

what kind of lighting and water flow does Sean have?
(This is like pulling teeth!)

If he is keeping an sps tank would all the flow make it hard to keep? I really dont know much about about sps except that they need crazy flow and very clean water. If he has to much flow that might explain why the nem is having a hard time finding a good place to settle in.
Like Gary said knowing what kinda flow he has might shed some light on the subject.

Sorry gang, went to go see The Mist...not bad.


I have a 180 with a Tunze wavebox, 2 Tunze 6200's, my return is a Reeflo Hammerhead returning through three, 1" Sea Swirls.

My lighting is with T5's (Aquatinics Constellation).

I no longer keep SPS...my job is too demanding.
Just Zo' and Rics for me.

IME Ricordea can irritate Entacmaea (BTA). Make sure to run carbon. I can't say for sure but it sounds like your BTA might be searching for a good spot to call "home", Sean.
