Hello guys, my name is Hakim from indonesia and i need some help/opinion from you guys. I bought a BTA about a week ago and it always moved into the cave openings in my rockwork. If its searching for crevices to settle inside i won't complain, but outside the cave there are also many good crevices. When it's settled it bubbles up normally and eats fine, but recently i moved it to prevent it from crushing my zoas, and i just noticed that it always go to the cave openings. I don't know if its avoiding my LED light or maybe something else? So anyway here's a picture of its condition right now (pardon my english, it is not my first language)

the pinkish fleshy thing on the right of the anemone is part of its
body /foot
 
It will move around the tank till it finds it's happy space. leave it alone
Yes, i am going to leave it alone. But what encouraged me to post this thread is because i worry it won't be getting enough light. I am actually shining a flashlight in the BTA's direction for the photo.
 
it will find the light when it wants to /move where it wants to and you can do nothing about it. Mine took 3 years to finally go where i wanted him to. then a week later it went back to his favorite spot.
 
Pretty much, just leave your anemone alone, no matter what you do, it'll find it's own spot, probably in one of the spots you didn't want him to go to = )

Well, okay. I guess in this hobby, patience is key afterall. I guess i just have to monitor his health, considering the fact that he had a little tear in its foot.
