    right now it is just slowly creeping around my aquarium. 5 or 6 inches per hour maybe.
    i am not concerned with it touching any of my soft corals. i may move some LPS out of the way if i have the chance. i dont think anything i have (all non sps) should be bothered by its roaming too much..... any opinions?

    my anemone has taken to a spot with a deep nook on the first rock that i put it on. it may have moved around a total of 4 or 5 inches. It seems to be holding its position for the last 12 hours or so. it is front and center in my aquarium so hopefully it will stay there and my clowns will show interest soon.
    BTW- i have spent SO much time researching and reading about the proper husbandry and possible catastrophes of an RBTA and how they will move around and destroy things... it has been easy as pie so far :cheesy:
