Can I just start off by saying....nems is evil
 (if you've read my tank thread you will understand).... From what I understand they really love to wedge their foot into a hole like GSP said earlier. The island may work but they will often just "let go" if they cant "walk" to where they want to go.

I will read your tank thread...and probably freak myself out and ban the RBTA to the breeding trap again!  Which thread is it in? What pages? I see your tank journal have a lot of pages!  Last edited by Myka; 03-22-2009 at 03:32 AM.

Ok, so I dug a bit of a hollow in the sand against the base of my live rock, and put the nem there. He crawled up on the base of the rocks, and looked happy for a few hours. When I went to bed he looked like he was getting ready to move. He did get an itchy foot and decided to go hiking around the tank. Luckily he stuck to the right side of the tank as I moved all my corals over to the left side of the tank. He was resting on a rock of GSP against the glass in he middle of the night when I got up to check. Then this morning he has moved again to the base of the live rock on the far right side against the back glass. He was looking happy there this morning, but is now looking like he might be getting ready to move...AGAIN!! How long does it normally take for them to find their perfect spot? He's stressing me out!

Mine went into the back corner of my tank and hasn't moved for 2 months. It sort of sucks because I can't see it, or feed it. I figured if I didn't feed it it would move but no such luck. My lta decided to move on fri night. It moved into the other corner from the bta. Now I have two nems that I can't see or feed
 . I recently added a new skimmer and I had a lot of bubbles flowing into the display. I'm fairly sure this is why the lta moved. The bubbles flowed straight onto it. Now that I haved fixed the bubble problem my next mission is to get the nems where I want them. Or as close as they will allow me to.Oh the lta stayed where I put it for 3-4 months before it's recent move.

I was lucky at first, put my RBTA in the tank and it moved about an inch and stayed there for the past 4 months, then about a week ago I moved the rock it was on about an inch and now the thing decided to wonder around all over the place, I finally moved the rock it was on (to close to a few other things) to the other side of the tank and so far it hasn't moved in two days, so I'm hoping it stays there.
