Anemone on the run

[richardhmc]

Anybody else deal with their anemone not staying one position? This guy, my red bubble tip anemone, does laps around my tank every day. And I doubt he's stressed, because he opens up ALL the way when the lights are on. But every day he's in a new spot. It can't make up its mind. I don't mind it, as long as its healthy. He hasn't stung any other corals, but I would prefer him to open and face the front. Should I feed it alot when its in a place I like it to be so that it'll stay there?

And then I have another anemone, a small green bubble tip, that refuses to face the front of the tank. the rock it was on, I flipped it so it would face the front and it moved to the back of the rock to face the back of the tank again.

Rebels. :tired:

ummm......there must be something bothering it if it moves around that often....light, flow, can't afford the rent?!?!?.....lol
if you have enough room, isolate the rock on the sand bed trick may work.

Just needs to find its happy place. Let it do its thing till it finds a spot. Try not to move or bother it..

I believe its the light. All my corals, ever since I went from metal halide to T5 have been shrinking away from the light because its strong

I haven't touched any of the anemones except for the one time that I moved my green tip.

I wish i have ur problem mine is all 3 of mine are stuck on a rock and dont want to move. Even with my power head pushing it still will not buge..AS FAR AS UR GBTA.. ITS JUST SHY..LOL

Maybe u have too much flow or they don't like ur light but leave them both alone when they are comfy they won't move and Will open up nicely
