My new nem is hiding up by the overflow. There are no slats in the side he is near. When I got him he plopped right on a rock near where I put him and stayed there. He opened up, I fed him. I then moved the rock work around. He had trouble adusting to his new spot. So I put rock he was on back to where he liked it. He started adjusting again but then a fish got ich. I put some rally pro in the tank. Just one dose. And I ave changed a lot of water since. But he is up by the too now. Not sure when or if he will go back into the rockwork. I hope so.
 
Not sure if you're asking a question or not....

FACT: Nems will do whatever they want. They will move around the tank until they find a spot that they like. Then, at some point down the road, they'll most likely move for no apparent reason.

You made quite a few changes in a short time. Moving a nem once they anchor can be challenging. They are stubborn. They're also sensitive to change.

Lay off water changes, medications, and trying to move it for a couple weeks.
