Question on Nem clutter

So the past few weeks my 2 nems have found there way to the same spot at my hammer and gps. They all look to be doing good...I am just not sure if I should let them all stay in the same spot....the 2 nems are right next to each other...the carpet is footed all the way under my base rock...the LT has moved about a half in away in the last few days. .... the hammer has always been there....that I can move my self...but the nems have a strong foot under the same rock.

I would keep an eye on them, but if nobody appears to be waging warfare I would think they're fine for the time being. Maybe they were just getting lonely?
 
If it was mine, I would move the corals. Getting anemone's to settle down and be happy is harder to do, than move corals to a new location.
 
I can move the hammer...but the gsp and the other are on the rock that both of the nems are footed to. Should I move the hammer to another location..? the other I would have to up root the nems to get them sparated
 
If they're fighting it's usually pretty obvious - one or more will at the least retract polyps, more likely start to slowly die off as it gets stung.
 
I would move the hammer. GSP will be able to defend itself. The anemone will retract and move away when they get stung by the GSP. GSP always win war with any other coral or anemone.
I would try to keep the two anemones from touching each other if you can. When they touch, if there is warfare, one anemone will move with only a little war wound. For heathy anemone, this is not of significant problem.
 
I would definitely agree with everyone else, healthy nems always have a sting and corals tend to lose. I didn't know gsp could win that, I have never seen any coral win against by BTA.
