Default Anemone that’s a little lost…?

Okay, so I’ve had this RBTA for three years, and it’s never once moved since I put it in. Last night it decided to pick and go for a hike. Why do they do this? Is there anyway I can coerce it back to its old spot?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the light in my sump burnt out for about three days. The anemone moved the night I replaced the light….

Also, thank. I forgot that part :}

I had one that moved away from his spot for two days, I guess he figured he was happy where he was and thankfully went back on his own.

In my experience...that is what they do sometimes. Mine spends an average of about 1 yr in a particular spot, then does a couple laps around the tank before settling for another year. It can be hard on corals, since they can't really get out of the way...

I have a small gbt, small tube anemone and a larger sebae. The gbt and sebae are rambling anemones - you just never know where they are going to end up in the tank. They seem to move around the most when we change the flow. The tube anemone seems to stay closer to the same spot but he moves around, too.

You have to remember they are animals and not plants, and unlike corals they will probably not stay where you put them. Not sure how to coerce one to a particular spot but if you figure it out let us know!

Sorry to hijack, but I'm wondering if you'd be able to "maroon" an anemone on a single piece of live rock? Or would it have no problem traversing substrate?
