Will a rose BTA walk across sand?

[yellowtruck75]

I am thinking about trying my first anemone and I would like to get a rose BTA. I have a small island of rock in my tank that I would like to put the anemone on. Will it stay on the "island" or walk across the sand to find a better spot? Sorry for the ignorance but this will be my first anemone in 10+ years in the hobby.

I am wondering also, I grabbed my first Green Bubble tip yesterday and he is under the rock I put him on, I am thinking he is looking for a different rock but was wondering if he will walk across the substrate.

Yes.

He will move across the whole system until it finds a spot to settle in and once he does that try not to switch up the flow in the system bc he will be on the move again.. IMO

+1 they will move until they are happy

Hmmmm my LFS said he won't walk on the substrate he will stay on rock. I will just have to wait and see what he does. He's just not happy right now but it's only been 24 hours since I placed him in my tank.

They don't walk on it but they will float around sometimes.
