I recently bought this BTA and it is getting closer and closer to my toadstool. I don’t want it stinging my leather, so I’m having a circulation pump directly at the anemone. The leather is closing up now, but I think the anemone is going to move because it doesn’t like direct flow. I’m just worried I’m stressing my toadstool.

How can I move this anemone? It’s a big tank with a lot of room, it’s just that he’s exploring in the wrong place.

I had this issue before. But my worry was for the BTA because it was getting to close to my carpet anemone. Everyday I would use a stick to poke it. But it won't move away from the carpet. I had to physically moved it.

Rotate the rock around that it's currently attached too (assuming it's a different rock from your toadstool). It might move to a different spot on the rock.
