Moving a large Carpet Nem

[Neogenocide]

Just a quick update to the thread. The Nem has only moved about 4 to 5 inches total and seems to have settled in. It's either loving it's new space and keeps expanding more and more, or it as grown a TON as you can see in the following pics. I also picked up a set of grade B picasso clowns from a semi local breeder. They are only 3/4" so I've got them in a seperate tank until I can get them eating good and grown out a little bit. Pics of the nem from tonight.

Just a small update here.....it seems something ticked off my nem, an it's decided to move. Not sure where it's final resting place is going to be, but I've been moving frags around trying to keep them clear.

Did you change the flow at all?

Any other anemones in the tank ?

Flow may have changed just a bit, I had a temporary power head in the tank on a wave maker, but the temp pump is on the other end of the tank. I just got the RMA'ed replacement pump on Monday. The other factor that may have caused this when my Blue Hippo Tang got stung, it was hiding behind this, and I messed with the nem 2 or 3 times, gently folding it away from the rocks so I could peek behind it. I did just check and it looks like it's starting to set it's foot down again. I think it looks like it's hiding as part of it is falling into the gaping hole it left in my sandbed. It's moved around 8" so far in the last 24 hours.

So....this really isn't a problem, just documenting what's going on, and how it's developing under the LED's.

Thanks for the reply!!

Also forgot, no other nems, and it's moved into more intense light, not the other way around if that were a problem.

Time for a update, I'm thinking it was me messing with the nem that may have caused it to move. It moved around 10" or so and has now dropped it's foot again and is looking happy. I have not fed it yet since it's moved, but it is looking good.

Just a quick pic.
