Wandering ritteri anemone

[fishoholic]

Not sure about this anemone but most will move if there was to much flow on them. Although some just move for hell of it so who knows. The rbta at my work moved recently and got close to a zoa frag I had putty'd down. I found it easier to move the anemone to the other side then break off the frag.

I find if you can create a low flow spot with a tall rock cave/cavern area they can climb up when the lights go on and go down when the lights are off, they'll stay there and be happy.

Ya I'm worried that it's a flow issue. These guys are supposed to like the highest flow of all the anemones, so I thought it would be fine in my tank. Strangely, it hasn't moved today. It's like it knew I was home. Thankfully it only seems to move when the lights are on. I'm going to try fragging the coral that's in imminent danger off the rock today, and if it moved again tomorrow, I'm going to intervene more directly. I have some extra rock in the sump I can use to build a spire for it to live on in a corner. The problem will be convincing it to stay there.

They do like flow I had a large Ritteri years ago and the only way I could get it to stay put was to blast it with flow from a powerhead. It also liked to be on the highest point in the tank. I have one currently that is on the side glass of the aquarium right at water level its not at good viewing level but it doesn't move much.
