    Post Moving a Green Bubble Anemone

    I have a green bubble tip anemone that has moved behind the rocks..I have had it for about 3 weeks now,and its been there ever since i put it in there..its completely shaded by the rocks,i would like to move it to a better location,but im afraid i might hurt it..this is my first anemone and i dont want to hurt it..its not in a rock its just attached to the back wall..Would it be ok to move it to a lighter spot?

    I also have 2 tomato clowns,but one of the tomato clowns has claimed the anemone and won`t let the other anywhere near it..is this normal??

    Trust me he is where he wants to be if he moved there and anchored, then again if he's out of sight and u cant enjoy it move it just be really gentle with It's feet. A tear could kill it or split it

    You can't make them stay where you want them - they will move back, if you move them.

    What's funny is that when they split, the 2 pieces migrate all over the tank, and then end up in their old spot, right next to each other. Happens all the time.

    And if you move it, its going to continue to move until it finds a spot it likes. This movement raises the chances of it getting sucked in a powerhead.
