Haddoni not moving in a weird spot..

[m0nkie]

Hi guys. I placed a healthy blue Haddoni (4-5 inches) near a rock on the sand. This was beginning Oct. He moved around the first few days and went to the top of the rockwork, in the shade, facing backwall. Stayed there for over 2 weeks. I placed a MP10 1ft away blasting it at 80%. It's been a week, still not moving. I have other healthy Haddoni on the sandbed without problem. Just this one.

Question:

1) How long can they take straight mp10 blasts? It doesn't look very ****ed off.. but I don't want it to die from this.. the side not getting the blunt force opens up pretty nicely..

2) Any other tricks to moving them without touching by hands?

If he is irritated enough he will move.

can u tell us more about ur system? lights flow,how long tank has been cycled and all that . i have never had a haddoni climb the rocks.ive had at least 10 over the years.

Tank is 150gal. ATI 8 bulb lights. 5 blue, purple, actinic, coral.

tank's been up and running for about 11 months. parameter is in my signature. alk ~9, calc ~430, mag ~1400

SPS dominate tank, flow is fairly strong. 1 Gyre 150 and 1 MP40. Both running at about 70%

Tank has 3 Haddoni and 1 BTA. The other haddoni are sitting normally on the sandbed. This one is just weird.. I know it moves when irratated enough, I'm just wondering how much is enough? and would it kill it if i do it too much? Been blasting the MP10 for a week now.

I've never had a haddoni move, either. Strange.

Did you Qt this guy. I found that when they are not feeling well, they have a tendency to move around. Also when mine were sick they seem to like less light but more flow. I have had my group of Haddoni for over 6 years.
