RFA and BTA hiding under rock work

[tundraguy1106]

So over the past few weeks I’ve started added anemones to my 120 gallon tank. The tank has been up and running for over a year now. I started off with 2 green BTA. One stayed right on the rock work and opens and closes throughout the day, the other moved under a rock in a cave area where it still opens and closes but it’s not out in the light?

I chalked this up to an adjustment period however it’s been a week and he’s still upside down under that rock.

yesterday I received my 2 RFA’s from Aquasd and placed them right in front on the bottom of my tank. Both have since moved upside down under that same rock??? Again is this an adjustment period or something else.

salinity 1.025
Alk 9.0
Phos .03
Nitrates 8-10 ppm
Calcium 390

i recently beat Dinos bringing up my phosphate a nitrates and now I keep them there.

my current light setup is two hydra 32’s running the saxby settings supplemented with T5’s that run from 2-6 in the afternoon.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I have a Sherman BTA coming in next week and want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong.

First pic is the 1st BTA. Second pic is the other BTA under a rock. Third is my one RFA. Can’t get a pic of the other RFA

Anemones go where they want, my 2 bta's found the lowest flow, highest light areas.

What about PAR levels? What can they handle? I rented a PAR meter and want to dial my lights in for a mixed reef.

Moderate to high, 150 to 350 par for btA, 100 to 200 for rocks, even less
Both will find their happy places
