Rock flower vs Ricordea Yuma

[greatzambesi]

My Yuma keeps moving around the take. He will stay put for several days and then move. I don’t change flow or anything. I came home from work three days ago and he was cozied up to my rock flower anemone. I immediately moved them and the ricordea looks fine. My rock flower has looked bad ever since. This morning he has a brown spot on the top and he released from the rock. His mouth is still next to the brown spot.

How did you move the rock flower, you didn't force it did you? Forcing it can damage it. They won't hurt or sting each other, even if they touch, one will just eventually move. I have plenty of both in my tank and they are all side by side. Its best to leave them alone and not touch them once they are established in the tank.

The pic is not clear and can't see what that spot is. Would you be able to turn off the blue lights and leave only the white lights on, so we can see better?

I moved the Yuma as it let go of where it was and moved with the current to the RFA. However, it’s been three days since they touched and the RFA let go of the rock this morning. He’s not doing well at all. LFS said it looks bacterial so I’m trying cipro. Guess we’ll see

ya thats a good idea, I don't think the ric could have done that.

It could just be a coincidence but he’s been in there for 8 months and doing great. When I went to the LFS, they had a RFA and a recorder touching with no problems. I set him up in a different container with aerator so I can dose for the next couple days. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of info out there.
