Carpet on the move

[Magnoliamg]

I've had my haddoni carpet for four years now and it has never moved from it's spot. All of a sudden I'm seeing it move about 6 inches. It still looks great and is eating well. Any idea on what could make it move like this?

Changes in the tank:
Switched salt with the last water change - 1 week ago
Added (4) 54 watt bulbs (increased from 12 to 16)

My tank is a 240. All parameters are the same... no major changes.

i would say yuou answered your own question. somtimes just the changes even ssmall ones will make them get up and move. i also have a very large 24" carpet that sat in one spot for more then 5 years. then one day poof he up and moved and has been in the new spot for nearly a year now. the only thing that changed was i did a larger then normal water change two weeks prior.

i got lucky and i liked the new spot better lol

I scrambled to get stuff moved out of it's way... the clowns just looked at me like I was crazy. I wouldn't mind it staying where it is but now I'm anemone heavy on that side of the tank. My rbta's are on a tower right above where it is heading. LOL

Yes.I bet that changing the bulbs made him move a bit.Let him settle back down and see what he does.The new salt may have also made him move.Just keep him happy and safe and he should be fine!
