    Thanks Mindy,
    I'm just trying to keep things in balance- like walking a tight rope.
    Well, not really that stressful- but you know what I mean.

    Nems, after months, years, on the move? They are about 4.5-5 ft away from each other- yet maybe they send out communication b/c they both moved virtually in one day. I really didn't change much of anything, maybe the lights slightly bluer is all.

    My RBTA moved from the rock on the left/foreground- accross a gap to the larger rock it's now on.
    This one I used the flash on the IPhone so you could see it better.

    My Watermelon BTA has moved from the loser left where the bare area is, up to upper right- same rock for now.

    INteresting how they took the same timeframe after all the months to move?
    Maybe one or both of them will FINALLY split!

    Todd, i find that completely interesting them both moving at the same time! I would have to imagine something triggered it. Do you think it was the slight light adjustment? BTW, love your tank always following since currently have very close to same set up and want SPS some day but a temporery job move has me waiting at least a year. looking forward to more updates

    that is interesting - must be something going on although I can't blame the one nem for moving from the loser left :)

    Jeesh, don't call that nem a loser! Heshe might be sensitive...

    But the fun of nems, they definitely do not mind meld with us when we tell them to STAY!

    Thanks for the thoughts all.

    Then,
    The WBTA decided to schrink, but since It's done it before- I didn't panic

    Then hours later it's expanding again!

    And the RBTA is still on the new rock face, but moved back up and toward the front more

    OH those Nems!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I am a firm believer that corals and inverts send out chemical cues, pheromones. I am interested to see what happens after they finish moving around.
