Ricordea moving

[Richie1898]

I recently was given a rather large Ricordea from a friend and recently he’s been on the move. He’s sorta encroaching on my gsp. Should I worry? Or move him? I have a fluval evo 13.5

How far has it moved? Usually when they move they will leave babies in their path. Sometimes due to stress, sometimes just as a reproductive strategy. I wouldn't worry though

Probably 2-3 inches. He was further to the right when I got him

Is it leaving little blobs of tissue behind? How long have you had it?

I don’t see any, and maybe 2 weeks?

Hmm. Then it probably doesn't like where it's at. Although they still usually leave babies behind anyway. What lighting is it under and how strong? Is there high flow?

It’s a nano reef, I have a wave maker on but it’s on the lowest setting. But gets decent flow. And I have a 30w Aqua knight, that’s a couple settings below the max. More blue than white.
