Looks great!

How do you keep the newms from moving around?
Thank you!

I find that when my nems are happy, they don’t move... unless they just recently split. Gigs hardly ever move from my limited experience with them. Once they find a spot, they stay put mostly.

Do you find they move as the SPS grows and changes the current or do they even stay in place with that?

I would love one in my tank but am always worried about how anemones move.... and eat fish.

I haven’t had one in the display for 3 years now. When I did, the issue I had more was as it grew it stung the corals around it... not so much it walking.

Bout time you introduced the Splice : )
It looks great! And even though I’ve had some system setbacks, it’s not far behind yours in growth :)

I’ve been holding back. Haha.

Mine is in my backup system.... I feel like this is the reef version of when Inigo Montoya said he’s not really left-handed. :p
