Posphates + Anemone

[mnash]

Would a high level of phospahtes cause a large bubble tip anemone to continually move throughout a tank. This thing would move from one end to the other over night. It would then move back to where it was. It seemed it was never happy. It was kept under metal halide lighting and the only thing wrong with the tank at the time (I think) was a high posphate problem. It eventually moved too close to the intake for my closed loop and that was the end for him. Since then I have gotten a phosphate reactor and gotten the problem under control. My question is should I get another anemone? What kind would encourage my two orcelarous clowns (pair) to spawn? Thanks for any input.

uncoverd powerheads or closed loop drains are more of a problem than phosphates.... BTAs will wander , that is inevitable...

Are there less wander prone anemones that will host my clowns?

Anemones wander when their requirements aren't being met. Back when I kept BTAs they would only move if I changed something in the tank.

What are your water parameters ( with numbers ) and how long as the tank been set up?
