My green carpet moved on top of my Red carpet

He decided to move over enough to drape himself over my red carpet.



He used to be draped over my purple haddoni...maybe he prefers red..:spin2: I know, i need a bigger tank...and I'm working on it. Going to be going to a 225g soon.
 
I dont know what kind of effect that will have on either of the nems, but I would like to say kudos to you on an absolutely stunning green carpet. Seriously that thing is beautiful
 
If this go on for any length of time and the red carpet does not move I would use a PVC pipe to lift the green a little so that the smaller red does not get completely shade. Hopefully they move around a little and you don't have to do this.

Be careful this situation may take a turn for the worse. The Anemone that is being covered has prime position in your tank and the other is trying to move in to its spot.

I have seem this with magnificas and mertens. People dont realize there is only one perfect spot in a tank for an anemone of one species.

Watch for someone else taking a walk now.
 
This is what happened to my little Gigantea. We have to do something if the animals do not.

The odd thing is the spot that the green carpet is trying to move into was the spot he orignially had and would not stay there, now he wants it back but its being occupied by someone else now....You leave your seat...you loose your spot is how it goes. I'll keep posted on how this turns out
 
In the wild its not common to see haddons bunched together.

They are mostly alone with a group of clowns. Magnificas and bubbletips and sebea groups together.
 
Looks like my red carpet stood up for himself and got over the green one..



Here is a top view:



I think the green one will move again, i dont see him staying there. He's been the finicky one in the tank, the other 2 pretty much stay put. Mind you he is a lot bigger than the others so he's just trying to get comfortable in my narrow tank :o He will be much happier when i get my 225g setup..:bounce1:
 
Here's on update on those 2, they seem to be fine. Green one has moved more to the left on center of that rock. Red one hasen't budged. he's not giving up his spot.



Here is also an update on my purple haddoni, looking good as well:

 
Looking good:)! Some of my Haddonis overlap a bit, but I have not noticed any problems with this. I do have one now that can't seem to find a place he likes:( We shall see.

I love your purple nem:)
