My wife and I witnessed the coolest thing to date on our tank. :hypnotyized:

We purchased a Long Tentacle Anemone last weekend for our clowns. We put it in the tank and it didn't look too happy. Last night about an hour after the lights went off, I see this little guy start to move. I call my wife over and watch it for about 15 minutes crawl and tumble across our 125gal tank. He got tossed around a bit from the powerheads and my wife tried to move some of the other corals out of the way on the sand bed, but he finally stuck himself in a spot he feels comfortable with as of this morning. I know these corals are "animals", but to actually see it crawl with its tentacles and grab onto the rocks was the coolest thing we have seen.

After all the time, effort and upgrading we have put into our tank, little things like this make it worth it...

Pics or a movie would have been cool.

Yea they will move until they find a spot they love. My old one loved a little cave area where it would extend out during the day and suck into at night. Amazing creatures!
