Is it possible or practical to make a tank divider with eggcrate to restrict a carpet from moving to much? I have a 120g and a 10" haddoni that bumped into other coral, even moving rocks I placed it its way. I was also paranoid because the cardinals kept hovering over it so I moved it to a temp at tank. Before I get rid of the nem (it's actually hard to sell a large plain carpet nem here), Has anyone tried this? I could give him a 1x2 section at one end of the tank.
 
Hoewe deep is your sand bed. They look for a place they can bury their column in. Also haddonis don't appreciate a lot of current.
 
Yes, if it's not happy, it will keep moving, and yes a deep sandbed and low flow are the key to keeping them in place for Haddoni anyways, Also sick nems will never usually stop moving until they are dead :( This is usually why the best looking nems have the tank set up around them :)
