GBTA question real quick...

[thetonyage]

almost 3 weeks ago i got a GBTA and 2 maroon clowns. since ive gotten it the anemone has moved twice but stays under rocks in the back of the tank. i know this is normal until it gets comfortable, but last week my clowns started hosting the nem and it looks great (way brighter and puffier than it was before they were hosting). but the problem is its in the back of the tank, it looks comfortable there but i want to be able to see it from the front. what should/could i do?

Well, you could aim your powerheads towards the back and hope that it will cause it to move.

You should also make sure that all of your powerheads are covered. I use tulle (think window screen but bigger squares and in material) that I got at a craft store. I then secure it with fishing line. I've read of so many people having their nems die when the powerheads aren't covered.

I have 7 or so nems (they keep reproducing) in my tank and only one is up front.

i just gotta cover the powerheads from the back right? or can they find a way to get chopped up in the front too?

The intake to the powerhead is the concern. It can suck a wandering anemones tentacles and column in damaging or killing the anemone and releasing toxins into the tank. The outflow of the powerhead isn't a concern per se.
