My LTA is on the move, why?

[mnestroy]

my LTA has been in my tank for 7months and has been in the same spot since, he has actually gotten huge, he had his foot way under the sand under a large rock.

tonight I saw his entire body? out from under rock and next to rock... he is huge, form foot to mouth he is about 12+ inches.

The only change is my old female clown who has never hosted, after 5months of my baby clown hosting the LTA, she decided to give it a try.

Is the LTA just moving due to the stress from the adult clown? or is it possible I shifted the rockwork that it had its foot under?

I know people say dont touch them, but would it hurt just to try once to lift the rock, replace the sand that has been taken out, and re-lay his body back there? (like i did when i first brought him home)

here is a video of my tank form several months ago, the RBTA has since moved on the LTA is a tad bigger now.



Thx

I do not think anyone on this board speaks anemone.. :lol: j/k

Anyway it could be anything really. Could be any one of the things you listed. Could be your lamps are getting old and it needs more light, Maybe the flow has changed due to growth in your tank and it is not getting the flow it needed. Honestly it could be any number of things. i have had anemones sit in the same spot for years than one day I come home and its moved.
