Protect corals from anemones

[thedasher]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I was wondering how I can cover or protect my corals and clams that are on my sand bed from the anemones that won't stop moving. P.s. this is a nem dominated tank so there is constant movement
Thanks

What anemones do you have?

Wandering around is usually a sign that something isn't to their liking. With some anemones it can be as simple as that they just can't find a good hole or crevice where to put their foot. Others may not like the flow or the light or can't find the right combination of flow, light and foot base.

They are bubble tip anemones. Some of them don't move at all but a few of them move everyday. Do they like a lot of flow because I don't have too much flow in the tank

I feel BTAs are among the worst wanderers there are among host anemones.
Though I had a green one once that stayed put for quite a long time.
It may also depend on if there are clownfish in the anemone or not.

With giganteas I think I have found the trick. None of mine is moving despite one being in a basket without much flow and relatively little light. It's all about giving them the right attachment for their foot.

A crispa I once had liked to put its foot into a ceramic flowerpot.

In general I feel the right place for their foot is more important than flow and light.

See what the ones like that are not moving and try to recreate that for the ones that are searching for a place.
If they are clones another reason could be that they try to get some space between themselves and their "twin".
