I don't know about rbta. Mine is dying from lack of light, yet when I rearrange rocks to shot him with more intense lighting, he moves right back UNDER A ROCK into the shade. :confused:

Try putting an ice cube up against the glass and it will move when it feels cold enough. if you play your cards right you may be able to coax it in the direction where you would like it to be. There is no certainity that it will stay there though.

I find it hard to believe its lack of light Beth. You have more lighting than I do, but then I don't have the Rose. I think we went over this before but:
Temp 78-80 degrees?
Ph value ok? 8.3 8.4?
salinity about 1.024-1.025
Light bulbs less than 6 months old?
Alk and calc ok?
No domestic violence between clownfish and anemone?
Chemical warfare situations?
Regular water changes to keep other trace elements in line?
With enough light you really don't need to feed the E.Quad very often, and you should have enough light as I see it.
No direct current but more indirect?
If you suspect the water for any reason and you tried all else. Run a polyfilter for a week and see if there is any change. Can't hurt.

Beth: Yeah, bubble tips are one of the few anemones that don't like strong lighting. Feed it meaty seafoods, and don't move it for a while. You may be stressing it more by moving it.
Corbin: I was going to suggest the ice cube on the outside of the glass also. If you're lucky it may detach all together, worst case scenario it should at least move somewhere else on the glass.
