They love to get their foot into a small hole and then expand around it, wedging themselves in. Just my theorizing, but I think they put the need to find a good foothold above their requirement for light. The power head trick works.

You can't place an anemone where "it should be". It will find it's place and you better make sure it can't get into a powerhead.

I've got a RBTA right now that had two spots, something new for me. During the day, it was on the glass, and towards evening always ended up in it's normal spot in the rock.

I cleaned my powerheads... and it seems much more settled...

I guess the general thoughts are the powerhead trick for right now, as the BTA is just going to go where he wants to. Many thanks to those of you who took the time to lend a hand!

Hope he gets bored of the spot hes in and moves to a spot I'm not bored of him being in.
