Pink Tip Hatian/Condi Question

[mantisman51]

I have one pink tip, 2 condi's and 2 rock anemones. The rock anemones parked and stay where they are. The Hatian and condi's are roaming all over the LR and sand bed. I have read they move where the current suits them. Is it normal, though, for the three of them to move continuously? It's been over 6 weeks.

I know someone is going to ask, what lights are you running? The Condy I had moved around for a few days then found a spot he stayed parked too and never moved again. I did spot feed him though.

Oh, good point. I have have a 216 watt, 12000k T-5 (4 daylight bulbs and and double bulb moonlight) and a 48", 108 watt (two bulb) All Glass natural daylight fixture. That is a little shy of the 3 watts per gallon, because I have a 125g tank.

Inability to find the perfect light, food and flow will cause anemone to wander, if this continues too long they can stress and die. What type and wattage lights are you running and what/how often do you feed? If you can find and fix the problem they will settle down. The pink tip Haitian is a Condy.

make sure your intake tubes and powerheads are covered because with the nems wandering they will get sucked up and you'll have a bigger problem on your hands. just my .02
