Anenome on the move

Shawnman · Jan 16, 2024

Nem is on the move and super close to my hammer. They've actually touched each other but both seem to respect each other. Hammer could retract if it wants to. I don't really want to move corals around if I don't have to. Nem has been on the move since Saturday. Looks really healthy.

Background on the nem would help with members giving suggestions, how long have you had the anemone???? Any recent changes like dosing, light schedule, flow, etc???? Numbers reading, fluctuations???? Sometimes there’s no option but to separate the corals but again, some background on the anemone & husbandry practices is needed for others to either recommend on leaving things be or to take immediate action. Good luck.

Usually It's fine as long as the coral isn't near the foot.
Had my favorite lta move and a sps fell and ate at the foot anenome died.

If it’s on the move, something changed and it’s on the hunt for a new spot.

I just got it 2 weeks ago so I am sure it's looking for a home after it settled in for a week. I was just concerned how close together they were. I was under the assumption that if my new so much as touched the hammer that it would die but they seem to be feeling each other out and respecting each other.
