Sebae Anemone move

[GpixL_]

Hi, I have a sebae anemone that has found its home half under a rock at the back of the tank, been there for a few months. I absolutely love the look of it and it has extended its tentacles super far which makes it look fantastic. The only problem is that I can’t see it.

Does it make sense to try to move it just for tank appearance or just leave it be? I’m debating as I don’t want to hurt the foot and kill the anemone and also if it likes that spot then what am I to make it move in the hopes it finds a different spot? So any opinions/ advice? Thanks!

Don’t mind dirty tank it is being cleaned today

Do not move it but if you want it to move, aim water flow towards it and it will relocate itself

Do not move it but if you want it to move, sim wster flow towards it and it will relocate itself

Thanks, hesitant to do that as to not blow sand on every coral in the tank

Reason I stated blow towards- not at it

Thank you! Btw is there a point where there are too many anemones in a tank? Like for example have the sebae anemone and a small BTA. If I get 2 more larger BTAs can that be a problem? I think I read somewhere a while ago that the tank chemistry can be thrown off or the tank would need extra filteration or something like that. Is it true? Thanks in advance

Your BTA can and May split adding additional but while you can have several, they can sting coral if present

If you can find where it’s planted it’s foot and If you can easily access it and easily get a corner of the foot detached it is usually easy to remove it. If you can’t access the foot and/or it won’t peel off easily, then leave it be. You could also give the ‘nem cannon’ a try (sticky in this forum).
