Rose anemone from He**

[Holstin]

I have a little problem with a rose anemone. I added it to my 220 reef and it was nicely settled into a spot where it looked beautiful and wasn't annoying anyone. Now he has wandered around a bit and settled in right underneath my lord howel coral. I have tried blowing him with a powerhead, but that didn't work. His foot is at the base of a rock that is buried under 240 lbs of liverock. Can anyone suggest a way that I can entice him to move without breaking my hole reef down?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

change the flow. you can take a small power head and aim it at his foot. this will get him to move.

I had a similiar problem. RBTA decided to settle in the back of my tank where you couldnt see him. Tried flow and didnt work. He eventually got hungry and decided that wasnt the best spot

Just an idea..I hope it works for you.. you could try turning off all power heads..that might make it detach its foot from the rock that its currently on. It worked with a bta I use to have it might work for yours.

I appreciate your advice- however as for directing a powerhead at its foot, I have been unable to get a clean shot on him, he has nestled himself nicely into a crevice I can't reach. The flow has been shut off for several hours now and still no luck getting her to move.
Anything else I might try?

Do you have any other anemone in the tank??
Also do you run Carbon?

I would often see my RBTA moving at night more than during the day when he was looking for his spot.

Living- I also have a LTA in the center of the tank- approximate sixe a basketball and a half. as for carbon- I have 4 bags of chemi in sump as well
