Occ. clowns have lost interest in RBTA since it moved?

[Serren]

For about 10 days, my two clowns here hosted just fine in my new RBTA. Well this weekend, my RBTA decided to go a wondering, and was floating around in the tank. I grabbed it and placed it on the front top of my rocks. It must have liked that spot, since it didnt bother to move again. All is well with this RBTA.

But since the move, the clowns no longer host in the RBTA. For the first few days, they would hang out where it was. Now they just swim around and ignore the RBTA in its new spot.

Will they move back to it at some time on their own, or should I try some of the tricks to help them along?

How much does light level and current effect the clowns ability to host? The new location is a bit brighter, and has a bit more water current.

Thanks,

Steve

give them time. they need to acllimate to the anemones new location. how far did you move the anemone? if you moved it to far it will take longer for them to find it and host it. the anemones ben in one spot then moved. they just need itme to find it sence you moved it. mine do the same thing. dont worry.

It was moved about a 18 inches. Up about 9 inches, over to the right about 9 inches. And yeah, I'd say they know where it is. It's only a 34g tank! I did notice yesterday that the pbta made a big poo-poo. Maybe they were waiting for that to happen before coming home? lol!

I'll give it a week or so and if they don't go back, maybe I'll try the photo trick for fun.
