nems
I have 8 assorted nems in my tank. When I initially got them, they moved around the tank searching for that correct spot, looking for water flow, right amount of light and the right 'hole' in which to duck into when resting. Both bubble tips found their spot and have not moved in several month's. Coloring improved and they have tripled in size. The saba anemone, (about 12-14' across) I wanted on a particular rock. I put it there, he stayed put for about 1 month then decided to move around in search for better water flow. Ended up up top on the over flow grates. I moved him back to the original rock and placed a Jebao rw-4 on a very gentle flow of 20 percent, 3 seconds on 4 seconds off. Been there ever since and coloring is great, growing in size as time goes on. Nems are filter feeders and do require decent (gentle, not too aggressive) water movement. I target feed them all some mysis and raw shrimp twice a week which they readily accept. The carpet nem found a low spot in the sand, planted its foot right to the glass bottom of the tank and has not moved since. The three tube nems are spaced through out the tank and have not moved. Tunze power heads set up via apex controller to created gently waves take care of their water movement.
