    I wouldn't keep messing with her. You have NO say in where she will settle. She will pick a spot. All your going to do is stress her out.

    Yes Rosey is a diva, I was gentle with her though but will def leave her alone, I would just like to see her when I feed her to make sure she's ok. Because her back is to me it's harder to tell how she's doing. Thx for the advice.

    The nem in my 20G Maroon tank (the one in my avatar) always wanted to hide in the back tank wall and rock, too. It made it very hard to feed and obviously takes the fun away from having it since you can't see it, but it will stay where it wants to go. The rock in that tank was easy to move, and when I moved it to bring the anemone around, it would just move right back to where it was within the day. I have come to realize mine hated the 14000K bulb for whatever reason.
    She sure is nice though, your's has great color!

    oh boy, my gf texted me and said my "red jellyfish" is on the move going all over the tank. Cross your fingers for me as I hope it doesn't find Mr. Koralia or my numerous other corals, I'm equally intriuged and scared hehe!

    If it's free floating in the tank, I would ask her to unplug your Koralia asap.
    If you ever suspect your anemone isn't doing well, you could get it near the surface of the water and stiff. If it's dying, you will know it. The smell is horrid, like a barrel of rotting fish. It will knock you on your butt. If you do that though, just don't expose it to air, just keep it just submerged at the surface.

    I'm happy to report that Rosey had wandered a bunch last night (lukcily didn't run into any of my corals) before I got home. She has planted her foot up towards the top of my rockwork in a nice crevice. I fed her a few small pieces of krill and she gobbled them up. Hopefully she will stay there for a good while. She looks happy, color is vibrant, here are some pics of her in the new apt:

    Rosey is growing quick, I fed her krill the past few days to make sure she stays put. She has really grown in the past day or so, I guess that's a good sign she is happy.

    Here are pics from today:
