Mine was in the same place for months and then anbout 3 months it split. now both move around a fair bit it seems they can't find a nice comfy place. for what its worth they are both growing and seem very healthy.

and you dont have any concerns about it possibly getting sucked up by the powerhead? it seems to be nice a healthy looking, bubble tips look great, i kinda feel bad though, its walking around and all my clowns wont leave him alone. lol

so i should be concerned than. I would hate to see it get hurt, maybe if it find a nice rock again i will move it to the opposite end of the tank and hope all goes well.

I had a bubble tip for about a year until I sold it and I've observed them in 4 friends tanks in the past. From what I've seen they never really stop moving around. Occasionally they take a break for a little while but then they're on the road again in no time. If you dont have anything else with them that could get stung and your intakes are well guarded its not such a big deal. But if you plan on loading your tank up with coral at some point you may want to pass it on to someone else eventually.

my powerhead sits quite high in the tank, but i will be putting some mesh around it when i get home, providing i still have an anemone. so far all i have in my tank is 4 clown fish, and dont plan on adding anything else for a while.

I had a bubble tip once that kept moving around until it moved right into a powerhead as well
 Definitely keep a close eye on it and maybe cover those powerheads as muck suggested.I also have two rose bubble tips in my tank and they have not moved since I put them in the tank 9 months ago. What I've observed is that if they get a chance to implant their foot into a cave or a hole where they can retract their entire body into it (for whatever reason) then they never feel the need to move. Of course, that spot has to have enough light as well. My bubble tips do that often, they'll spend hours shriveled up in their caves sometimes, but they NEVER leave their caves. In fact, I move one of them around frequently while attached to that rock with the hole that his foot is planted it.
