nem prefers flow over light. should i change flow?

[Drae]

My long tentacle has moved since installing a wavemaker. It was in a prime par location, smack dab in the middle of the tank ,soaking up rays and getting its color back. Now it's hugging the back wall in a low light location. I know its the flow because the night I changed flow for better overall utilization of my powerheads, it moved. I don't want to change my powerheads back because I like the current arrangement. What should I do? *DRAE*

dude, I would just see hoe it goes, anemone 's like to change due to their pickyness. of flow, and lighting. just keep an eye out. I am on a constant of my galaxy and my other reef corals. I have seen its sweeper's as long as 4 in from its base , lol.
but all in all man we are just looking out for our tank. I am in the process of about to add a BTA to my reef, but I am also worried about movement, so I have rescaped, and re direceted flow for the new addition . but that is just a lot of hopes..lol we will see. bta will be in within about a month. still waiting for tank to get completely ready. my reef is almost 5 .5 months. I don't wanna rush things , cause I have been down that road before. but at least this time. my nano reef has been helped by getting started by my neighbors 4 year old reef tanks water. lol. but even at that I am still not wanting t rush things!

Thanks for the reply and tank props. Just being cautious because I bought it bleached and its been doing so well. I'd hate to see a recession in progress.

LTAs (( M. doreensis )) are not fans of high/direct flow, and that is the reason that yours moved. You have to decide which you prefer, the anemone or the position of your powerheads.

The anemone will find it's preferred location. If that happens to also be yours, consider yourself lucky.
