Sorry to hijack, but I'm wondering if you'd be able to "maroon" an anemone on a single piece of live rock? Or would it have no problem traversing substrate?

Okay, the anemone settled back where I wanted him, but then a few days ago went on another journey... The problem is he is right near the surface of the water – and I want to do a water change, but don’t want to leave him exposed. Can I just carefully use a razor to scrape him off the back glass?

Cool
I recommend using a credit care [ carefully ]
They will keep moving till they find a spot that they are happy with...

It could be chemical warfare between your GBTA and the Sebae, with the sebae winning. Research done on the rock anemones on the west coast shows that two populations of anemones (same species) use chemical warfare to mark their territory, so that they don't encroach on each other. Could be similar in your situation.

I have one that dont like live rock at all. He is at the front of the tank half on the glass and half on the sand. I tried to get him on some rock but he just moved away from it. He has been like that for about a year now.
