Bubble tip nem question

[Jake_the_reefer]

I just got my first bubble tip anemone and I have one concern. I know that they like to move themselves to a place they are happy but will they move themselves in a bad spot? Mine moved its self into a spot of low flow and very low lighting. Would this pose a problem eventually or will he relocate if he isnt getting enough light

It will move if it feels like it isn’t getting enough light

just left it there, they will move around until they like the spot they want. I got a bunch of them which suddenly move to other side on the tank in one night.

I just got my first a couple months ago. I placed it into the general area that I wanted it. The first day it crawled into the nearest cave. It opened up inside the cave as the cave is open from the top. After a couple weeks it kept its foot anchored in the cave but is fully extended out of it.

It will find its happy spot. Downside is it may not be where you want it.

I would have preferred it popped out of the front of the cave but unfortunately it chose the backside

I'd say that's not a bad spot at all. At least it's in full view. Here's mine on the back of my rock. At first I practically had to look top down to see it but now that ita grown I get a little bit better view

Mine came in this plastic cave thing and I can’t get it to move. I really hate the plastic cave and I think it knows

My son's moved THROUGH about 12" of rock and decided to pop out amidst other coral. They are defiant little creatures!

Yep. They will find a spot they like. They tend to be a bit shy when first introduced IME.

Some of my most colorful healthiest are in dark, low, hidden places.

I let them be and sometimes they move a bit when ready.

Maybe if you moved the cave to your rockwork you could get it to crawl out?

I'd expect him to move again in a few days or week. Mine did the same thing, decided where I put him wasn't ideal, took a walkabout and hid in a cave for a few days, then took another walkabout to find a place he liked with higher light.
