Most anemones are prefer strong light. You're good with your light, but try to frag or place him closer to the top.

anemonies will go wherever they want... especially bubble anemonies... if they go deeper into the tank, they will spread out alot more and take up alot of tank space... see if you could get another 65w bulb brother...

I didn't mean to frag an anemone. I meant attach him to a rock. I placed mine to the rock I wanted him to stay. Aquascaped some rocks around him while he was attaching. He stayed . Took 2 days.

gumbii,,

What do you mean by "especially bubble anemonies"? Do they have different behaviors than others?

well i've had different anemone's in the past... the ones that travel less are short tentacle carpet anemones and sebae anemones... long tentacle/hawaii also stay put, but are huge when they are starving...

bubble are the ones that travel the most in my experience... and everyone i know that has had them will say the same thing...

if they stay put in your tank you're verry lucky... or your doing something right... but a carpet won't travel or climb down from where you put them... i'm getting a blue carpet and a neon green one as soon as my tank settles in...

You're right. I forgot all about those carpet anemones.
