when I finally tore down and moved V1 of my tank I literally flushed a dozen nems down the toilet....(I started with 1).....they became like aptasia for me.......no nems in V2....that being said I think nems are a cool critter, and wish they werent so dang invasive....

My nems behave. I have two of them. They are on their own island in the tank, and have a couple clowns hanging out in them. Aside from the first week, they haven't moved around at all, even when I move their rock. They used to split all the time, but I built my rockwork so everything is accessible so I could pull out the splits and sell them. They haven't split in a long time now...maybe over year? I don't feed them either, and the tank doesn't get fed very much (small fish, not voracious ones) so that helps keep them from splitting.

I've had mine for 1.5 years and while it has grown very large (15" across) it has never split. Hasn't moved either. If you're lucky enough to find the right spot for them, they're happy to remain there.

I have a GBTA and it split about a month ago but other than splitting it has never moved around the tank, both copys stay put, but they have one side of the tank to themselves because they are getting so big I'd say both are about 6" across when fully open.

I have had a GBTA for about a year now and while it has split a few times it has never moved. It settled a couple of inches from where I put it in. Feeding a lot seems to make them split? I have pretty much stopped feeding it but it gets its share since it is in a good spot for grabbing food out of the flow.

despite the fact that an anemone might wipe out my entire sps collection when they decide to go for a walk.

But, I just can't resist when I saw this @ the store today. [IMG][/IMG]

store wasn't too sure what it is. but, I think it's a pink bubble tip.

cross my finger hoping it will stay @ where I put it.
