If an anemone walks at night, does the clown know?

Like, when a tree falls in the woods, yanno?

I have a rainbow BTA walking all over the back glass of my 20g.
Felicia, my gold dot maroon, is snuggled away without a care in the world.

I know, I know, fish aren't sentient beings and she will doubtfully "feel" disoriented in the morning.
But do you think they "know" their homes are moving?

My Rainbow split when it got about volleyball sized and the clones went...all over, my clowns followed and split up to care for them, they'll know if they've bonded with the anenome
I only have one clown, she guards her BTA like a dragon guarding a castle where the princess is sleeping... This was only 1 nem a year ago, now one large one (Felicia's lair) and 2 smaller ones. They were all on one rock together, but now Felicia seems to have a mobile home.

You HAVE to get a video of that!! :) I guess this means she just goes along for the ride but at the same time she has to keep moving with the nem so she doesn't get left behind. Either that or maybe clowns stick themselves to the tentacles so they don't have to keep moving along with their wandering nem? Either way, that's amazing! :)

Well the nem seems to have engulfed her lol. I don't know if she has any clue that they're not on the rock anymore. I'll have to pop the lights on real quick to snap a photo. The nem doesn't move fast enough for me to get any type of video. But I'll post a photo then see where they end up in the morning!

That's awesome! It gives new meaning to "mobile home". LOL

Felicia has said, "byeee" to her Tesla mobile home and returned to guarding the castle again.

So the splits have moved to opposite sides of the tank.
And Felicia has she remained guarding her castle since.
