Climbing for light or flow imo . What lights are you using can you ramp them up or down. BTA anemones like a walk about until the perfect place

Sorry, the first pic is the most recent the ones below are older in my old tank, but was just showing difference in appearance. Do u think lights to high then???

No if the first picture is the most recent your BTA looks fine . Even 1 month is no time for a Anemone to settle in to its new tank light /flow and water conditions . Imo it looks happy. Watch your clown fish don’t do it’s head in clown fish can upset the nems with constant hosting and bashing about . Just something to watch out for .

Thank you good to know! And just weird thing I noticed today, I skipped my usual feeding of AB+ that I do to my corals in the AM, and this anemone looks so happy hahah I don’t get it. Maybe I was feeding him to regularly and it caused it to focus on digestion?

I only feed my nems once a week. They get there health through lighting. My nems eat flake sinking algae pellets mysis / brine shrimp/ wild shrimp and small frozen prawns defrosted

Same but I also target feed AB+ in my tank, and I would always shoot a little my nems way, skipped it this am and noticing a difference in a day haha so weird. Or maybe he just decided it was time to come out haha
