Help! Pink/White Bubble Coral Moved

[HumanIMDB]

We just bought a Pink/White Bubble Coral last night. We knew it would choose it's own location so we put it in the general area we wanted it. Everything seemed to be going fine; it attached itself to the rock where we wanted it to be. Well, not "exactly" where we wanted, but whatever.

We went to bed and this morning we couldn't find it. We searched and searched and finally spotted it at the very back of the aquarium where no one will ever see it.

Is there anything we can do to encourage it to move somewhere else? The rock it attached itself to is pretty much the only one we can't move.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sounds like you have an anemone, which is technically an invertebrate and not an LPS coral. Try posting your question in the Anemones & Clownfish forum.

I hope you wanted an anemone, cause thats what you got.
Make sure all your powerhead intakes are well covered as that seems to be a favorite implement of suicide for anemone's.

"technically an invertebrate and not an LPS coral"

Deanos, I think you meant to say it's technically an Anemone and not a Coral. All corals and anemones are invertebrates

HumanIMDB, it definitely sounds like a anemone. Bubble corals cannot move themselves. Can you post a photo so we can get an ID? Anemones need very specific conditions to thrive, so please do some more research.

Yep, that definitely sounds like what we got...teach us for making impulsive purchases...

I wonder if you were sold a "bubble" coral if it was really a "bubble anemone" they are actually kind of cool but not so much if you have lots of sad bed placed lps that could get stung

All we have so far is a green frogspawn, waving xenia, green blastomosa, green ricordia, blue and green mushrooms, some brown zoos, and a blue acroporia and there is plenty of space between all of them.
