Good to know. He hasn't moved at all so I guess he isn't that unhappy with his new home. I am going to try and use the screen and see if that helps. I too am just worried about losing him.

Another possibility is the flow. When i saw your tank you had quite a lot of flow and while the nem might like the flow some day... when it is just been put in i would make sure to shut off the power heads(if you haven't already). So it can pick a good spot and stick himself in. That will also save the worry of him releasing from the rock and turning into chop meat by going into a propeller pump.

Funny you should say that because Andrew came over and said I didn't have enough flow on him so we moved a power head for more flow but I changed it again because he never opened very much after changing it. He hasn't moved since I put him in so maybe he likes the spot.

What kind of anemone is it? Just curious. It can take then a while to acclimate and as already mentioned, often times they will move on their own to fun a suitable home (in terms of both flow and light).

Do you have any shaded areas in your tank? If you do you could try putting them there. How deep is your tank? Raising the lights with halides might not make a big enough difference as halides tend to be quite penetrating right to the sand bed!

The screen over the tank (just over the area where the nem is) is a great idea. You can even layer egg crate if you want.

It is Sebae with purple tips. He hasn't moved so I am hesitant to disturb him. I do have shaded areas in the tank quite close to where he is. The tank is 23 inches deep. I am going to try the screen tonight for half an hour and see how he does.
