Hi all, my long tentacle anemone is attacking a zoa colony. I got up this morning to find the nem had moved on the night and was now right up against the zoas (zoas are on a small rock) and it’s actually pushed the rock about 3 inches away from where it was. As of tonight the nem is still slightly tangled in the zoas. The nem looks like it normally does and the zoas are all open. Should I try to split them apart and move the nem? Is this cause for concern?
(42 g softie tank with 6 fish, can post more info if needed)
Thanks!

Do you think I should separate them?
If you want to keep both of them you should move them or sell one of them. That is part of management of your mini reef.

Thanks, I think I’ll move the zoas to my other tank.
