    My Condy moved from front to the back of the live rock....is this a common thing? (Newbie here.)

    Nems will move to the place they feel is the best for light and water flow.

    condys will move probably more than any other nem you will ever own. and they are very destructive when moving as they are godless killing machines within aquaria. when i was a newbie i bought a condy on impulse and the next day it had eaten my yellow tang and my hawkfish.

    also if your planning on having a clown host your nem they wont because clowns are in the pacific and condys are in the atlantic, entirely different regions as we all know.

    however if you have a not so picky clown like a clarks or a maroon they might be desperate enough to host as i have had two condy clown pairs.

    Hmmm, my Hawkfish was dead next to the condy. Whether it was the condy or not, I'll heed your advice...next time.

    You are right about moving...this condy has moved quite a lot. I may get rid of it.

    Condy's probably move around more than most other nems. That's why you don't generally see them in more established tanks...we've already learned that lesson the hard way, LOL!
