Hi all and some hints

[petoz]

Hi all, I'm new here, running a dsb from about 6months in 200lt tank, keeping some lps and a bta, I've also 2 clowns and a pacagnellae, all is good nitrate low (about 5) and phosphate under 1 (0,8) my only problem is that my Nem every week start a tour in the tank and change his location stay in the new place some days and let's move again, I don't changed the condition (powerhead, lighting) is the Nem hungry? It's possibile that start moving for search food?
I actually feed it every week with a fresh shrimp

Thanks in advance for all help me, any hints is appreciated!!

Very nice. Bta's will move around until they find a spot they like.

i doubt there is anything wrong. they like to move sometimes. nice tank and welcome

Very gorgeous nem u have there bud, nothing looks wrong with that nem. They move if they don't like where they are but they should eventually settle. If not, I would be worried. Make sure your powerheads are all covered and nem-proofed.

How long have you had it? (It's very beautiful btw) Typically new ones will wander anywhere between a few days to a month or so. You mentioned that you haven't moved any powerheads, but it looks like it was angled differently between Photo 1 and 2 so that may have triggered it as one possibility. Another more likely possibility from experience would be the LPS corals are irritating the Rose causing it to re-locate constantly in Photo 1(Sweeper tentacles and less likely Alleopathy) although they're not really present in Photo 2+, so running carbon might reduce any residual potential chemical warfare that may be causing some form of irritation (thus the desire for it to try and run from it). I do have to warn you if it's your first time running carbon in a long time you may want to possibly shade or dim your lights for about a week or so because the intensity will spike due to improved light penetration.
Hopefully this helps!

Thank you all! I' ve my Nem from about 40 days, after the initial period it decide to stay for 10days in middle of tank (photo1), after this start moving again and in this time I relocated some rocks and powerheads, so after few days he placed itself again and stay for another week or so and after that go moving again, this morning is here!

I've it from about 40days and after the initial period it decide to stay like in photo 1 for about 10days, then start moving and in this time I've relocated some rocks and powerheads so he find her place again (photo4) for about another week and now start moving again.
Never consider a chemical war but I can use carbon for a period

After adding some carbon, leave the rockwork alone if that's your final scape. Disturbing it again will cause it to move for sure since the way the flow will be in the tank also changes.

Yes this is final scape, moving it just for create more caves for new pacagnellae
This morning is moving a little on the left again

Also you might try feeding it if it will take food. That I think helps them settle in on their location.

After some days finally seems he placed his foot and stay (crossfingers on)
Feeding a little with fresh shrimp every day
