If you love her let her go-if she loves yo back then she'll stay forever. Looks as if she's settling in-no guarentees-don't change your flow!
 
Lizz...your tank looks amazing! It really is wonderful...it shows your care and your artistic nature. You should be quite proud of it!
 
i've got the same nem, my guess is that it's going to climb. that hole a few inches to the left of pocci might be a good final resting place. that acro and the sps are at risk of getting zapped when she goes walkabout. moderate flow and high light seems to make this nem happiest. these can get quite large. if you add clowns to the picture, you might end up with a good sized "no fly zone" . no guarentees, of course. i'd move the coral that is above the nem .

Yes, I'm concerned about the growth factor. Right now I feed Nemmy every other day, but when she gets a bit bigger, I'll cut it down to once a week - and hopefully have longer until she takes over the tank!
I'm concerned about that little acro as well. It's already been moved once because of Nemmy...... I'll wait another week before I move it again, but after that I'm afraid I'll have to rehome it......

Here's the day-light shot now that everyone is awake!
I really hope she stays somewhere in the front. She's been in the tank since March 10th - so a month now. Maybe this is the final move???

IME depending on light and feeding they'll crawl into a hole and divide if/when they get really big anyways. On more than one occasion I've thought I had one HUGE BTA that turned out to be a few small ones right next to each other. I've also found little babies off in holes in the rock all on their own that I didn't know about. When I broke down the 125 that Mel now has, I thought I had two or three green BTAs but it turned out to be more like 9!

If you don't want it to get huge or split often you might want to back off on feedings sooner rather than later, unless you get signs that there's a clear need for the food. Under strong lighting and with clean water I've had BTAs that went weeks without target feeding and were completely happy.
 
Dont forget those who like the "rap" Gary! :)

Awesome tank, If i could get a rose nem to stay put Id get one for sure.
 
Thanks so much for the compliments guys! I'm still really new to this, but I just enjoy my tank so much! Especially on days like today when the 'nem decided to come back out after hiding for two weeks :) :)
 
Nothin' like driving down the highway with the windows down and singing along with the radio at the top of my voice :)

Although.... I must say, "classical" music can (and should!) be "hillbilly" (as you put it) as well - these things have just unfortunately acquired the reputation as"elitist" enjoyments. But that's a whole 'nother tantrum :)
