Attached high on glass

[simplysyran]

I have a green bta that I introduced last week. It wandered a couple of tines, exploring the rock in o e general location. This morning, upon waking, I couldn't find it. Finally I located it attached to the glass toward the top of the tank. I don't have a PAR meter and upon looking at the specs for my light I see that it has a max output of 10,000 k. I have ordered one with 14,500 k. Could the lower k of light be the reason it is attached so high in the tank? It is at about the same level as my wavemaker, don't worry, I used pantyhose to make a cover for the wavemaker to protect the anemone from getting sucked into the wavemaker.

Just FYI, K is color temperature not PAR which is a measurement of intensity. Changing the lights for a different color temperature may or may not help and might be worse depending on what the BTA and other corals are used to. Likely the BTA was looking for lower intensity levels as light at the top perimeter will be much lower. If it's spent a week walking around I would be suspicious it might have a problem though. But I wouldn't change anything ans just wait for the BTA to decide where it wants to be.

Thank you. When I said exploring, it has changed position twice in the same general area. It looks great , it's just the change in placement that had me wondering.

That's better if it hasn't really gone on a walkabout. I'd just wait and see where it goes. FWIW I've had BTAs like upper edges and corners of tanks.

That's what I had planned. I just figured it was better to ask and be safe than for it to be a problem and me not know. This is my first bubble tip. I've always had condys.
