Saddleback and Haddons carpet nem

My little bleached Haddons nem is so happy now, no more sand constantly covering it, mouth shut tight and expanding and eating well. I also think the colour is slightly better. All since I introduced a Saddleback Clown, she dived into it instantly and I was worried her size would be a issue but the difference she’s made to nem is incredible. She keeps it clean and it just seems so much healthier, can really see why the relashionship is so beneficial.

Only thing that concerns me, is this nem moved to a area out of the light, it’s getting some light but not what I expected it to like, unless it’s trying to protect itself as it’s been bleached and previous owners did say that it thrived in shaded areas.

It looks and acting happy, fast feeding response, mouth shut tight...maybe it will move to brighter area once it’s zooxanthellae increase in number. I was tempted to move it, but it’s foot is stuck down firm.
