Haddoni on the move!

[greech]

I have had my Haddoni for 3 weeks now. After a couple of days it found a spot and settled in the sand and under a rock. It stayed put there until today I came home and found it climbed up on a nearby rock. I know this usually means they want more light (my lighting is in my signature) but wouldn't it had moved before now if that was the case? Also what's confusing is that I just bought 2 new bulbs (replaced 1 ABS and 1 Blue+) and replaced them 2 days ago because they were getting old. Are 2 of 4 new T5s too much? I did not adjust my light cycle when I replaced the bulbs.

My clowns left the nem alone for about the first week until the female dove in. I have never seen her beat on it too bad but she did dig the sand out from under where part of the disc laid all the way to the glass. Could the clown/digging be bothering it?

The other odd thing that I saw tonight was when I turned my pumps off tonight to feed the fish, the anemone appeared to have spawned as I was feeding. This really worries me because I have read this can be a survival mechanism.

Carpet has been eating fresh shrimp well too so I don't think its hungry.

Mouth has been tight and the Haddoni is far from bleached.

Water test show no nitrates or phosphates. Calcium is 420 to 430.

Pretty bummed if it's starting to go downhill. Really thought I had things covered and a healthy carpet

What makes you think that it spawned? When mine did there was no mistaking it (( pictures at the end )).

Do you still have that rock anemone?
Are you running fresh carbon?

So glad to see you back Todd. My spawn looked just like that. Thanks for sharing pics. I should have taken some of my own.

Things have gotten worse unfortunately. The Haddoni crawled up and over the rock I mentioned under a ledge. It's mouth if all puffed out and its smaller in size. I am pretty confident it was due to the bulbs being changed and my not shielding it or reducing the light cycle. I believe , it knew where it wanted to go because part of the disc laid over the rock and fell under the shade of the ledge when it was in its original location. I just didn't think 2 new T5 bulbs would have this kind of impact. Guess all I can do now is hope it recovers. I'm really ticked off at myself for not taking the time to consider the effect new bulbs could have. It was very happy where it was and so were my clowns

Yes, I still have the flower on the opposite end of the tank and I changed carbon out late last night.
