RBTA on the move

[edandsandy]

Just like the title state, my RBTA keeps moving around my tank...
I noticed "it" started to move about, so I was keeping my eyes on "it" I found "it" on my korilla power head just in time...so I unplugged the power head...now it has stayed close to the top of the tank, near the over flow box, and a return line.....ugh!!!! Is "it" trying to tell me "it" likes flow?????

My tank is a 40g breeder, with a mated pair of Bangaii Cardinal fish, (1) blue and gold stripe pipe fish and a few trumpet coral, a long spiny urchin.
Marineland LED white and blue light.

Also I currently have 62 baby Bangaii in 6 floating nurseries.

We have target fed "it" before "it" moved....

Any advise on why "it" is on the move?

They move when they are unhappy with either flow or lighting or both. Not much you can do about it other than let if find it's happy place.

Too much or too little flow or both.....lol....
I wonder if it the LED lights too...

Like Sugar Magnolia said it's either a flow or lighting problem for the nem.

One thing I've learned w/ anemones, is that they love good water params. & stability. With my anemones, if there's a sudden temp. spike to say +5 degrees above normal, they'll move. If I change the flow a bit & it hits them too hard, they'll move. Afterwards, they always go back to around the same areas..

here's a vid of a freshly split clone off my RBTA.

Thanks for all the tips

My RBTA started moving about all of a sudden, went all over the tank. Shortly after it ended up right where it began and then split and both nems stayed right there afterwards.

Mine go for a walk before splitting. If its not in danger, and you are confidant there isnt a water quality/flow/lighting issue, I wouldn't fret.

It's seems to have settled down where it landed when I first purchased it....
Thanks!
