This is my first rock flower. I've read ppl say they don't move much, but mine is traveling everywhere.

He seems to have settled directly underneath my bubble tip anemone. It would be nothing for them to touch and I'm sure they have already.

Is this bad news for the rock flower? Is there anything I should attempt to do?

im not too sure... but im guessing the bubble tip will be somewhat resistant to its stings, although it may be irritated especially If its right at the food

I kind of had it in my head that the rock flower anemone would be in trouble and not the bubble tip?
 
I should add the rock flower is about the size of a quarter. The bubble tip is huge, bigger than a baseball
 
How long has it been in there? I got three at once for my office nano. Two settled right away and the third kept bouncing around like tumbleweed until I guided it to a spot and protected it for a while from flow (had already been 2+ hr with flow off. And I'd say it settled by the next day.

It's been at most a week, and it traveled to different spots for a few days and has settled under the bta for about 2 to 3 days now.

I know I don't get what I want all the time, but I'd like to keep the bta where it is. So if i try to get one to move, the other one might since they're so close.

Maybe I just let them settle it?

I've only had bad experiences trying to move anemones. Get them where you want and then they just move again and sit on top of your Duncan :-/

dang. Well that settles it. I'll leave them be.

Sorry to hear that!
 
Here's a picture of them from right now.

The bta has actually shifted backwards a bit and he's not as fluffy as usual. Maybe he's ticked?
