Bump...

I wouldn't be too concerned yet. If it isn't getting adequate light, then after a week or so I would probably try to intervene, otherwise, I'd suggest you leave it alone. Since it's on the prowl, are all your powerhead intakes screened. You don't want it getting shredded by a pump.

+1 mine did the same thing for a month and then move to a place it liked and has stayed there.

Ok cool Ill leave it alone for now, I only have a koralia ph and its not screened but the anemone hasn't gotten close to it, plus Im keeping a very close eye on it.

Has it come out yet?

 

[mikejones]

Nope not yet, but it extends itself to absorb light and gets back again, it looks ok.

She already out.....She was in the perfect spot right in the center of the tank

This is after couple of days in the tank

The she moved under the OFB

Now she's on the upper right corner of the tank

I hope she goes back to the center of the tank

At least it looks healthy. Just let it do its thing. Mine hangs upside down under a rock at the top of the tank and pops up between the rock and back wall now but wandered for about a month. Strange creatures they are.

Mine spent the first month wandering around until it found a home.

Mine, after a year of staying put, moved to the glass like yours. I was also worried just as you are. I finally figured out why it moved when it split. After they healed I placed them on the rockwork, front and center. They stayed there for about 8 months until about 2 weeks ago the larger kept retreating behind the rocks now and then. I thought something was up and today it split in 3. From my experience they move for a reason and they usually know what is best for them. It is funny your looks like it is in almost the same place on the glass mine was. : )
