Hi everyone I have 2 questions I'm hoping you guy can help me out with. First my RBTA that I have had in my tank for about a month seems to be slowly moving in my tank, it has pretty much stayed in the same spot in the tank since I put it in there but the last few days seems it has decided it wants to move. Is this normal for them? I haven't added anything new in the tank as far as equipment and all my perimeters have stayed the same as well (78f, 1.025 salinity,PH 8.2 ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 3-5, phosphate 0, calcium 400-425, magnesium 1280, alkalinity 7.2-8) Just worried it will start to venture to far and sting some corals. The other question I have is I also have 2 onyx clowns that I bought at the same time as the anemone. They both were juveniles with one being a little bigger than the other. For the first few weeks the bigger one, which had found them nem and is hosting, stayed in the anemone alone while the other swam near but never in it. Last weekend I added 2 new fish, a leopard wrasse and Midas blenny and ever since the smaller clown has made its way into the anemone with the other one causing them to constantly fight. They have times where they seem content with each other, mainly at night, but a lot of times they are chasing each other around biting and locking mouths. I haven't really noticed any major damage on either of them besides of few scuffs on them and the smaller ones "chin" looks to be a little white or bruised, but no missing fins or anything like that. Again just curious if this is normal pairing behavior or something I should be concerned about. Possibly remove one or both and look into buying 2 that are already paired or just living with one? My tank is an IM mini 40 with a hydra 26 for lighting running BRS's AB+, mighty jet return with vivid aquatics RFG's and 2 aqami kps's. Ill post some FTS's from about a week ago and today to show the anemone movement. TIA!
