    so about a week ago my anemone started to move after hes been in that spot for about 6 months, the spot he was in was deff the best spot for an anemone (IMO). The anemone started to move after i purchased a clarkii clownfish, the bad thing about this is he moved into the rock work and pops up during the day through diff spots in the rockwork. Should i move him back to the spot he was at a week ago? Or should i leave him alone to search for the spot he wants?

    do you think the reason of him moving is because of the clownfish?

    have you tested the water ?, and is the bta hosting the clown also what lights do you have . there could be a number of things that might have changed when was the last time you chaged ur lights and bta's are sensitive the changes in water quality will cause them to move

    im not sure but it is a possibility that the clown might have made it panic since it has not had a clown watch it and see if it stops
