Since my lights came in today for my new tank, it's time to transfer everything to their new home. In addition to fish and coral, I have three anemones that need to move. They're Green Bubble Tips. And they're hosting a couple clowns.

Is there a best practice for moving them? Temp, pH, and salinity are the same on both tanks.

Lighting, however, is not the same. I've got a 4 bulb T5 setup right now. Went with Reefbreeders LEDs on the new tank. I've got them set at 50% right now. Planning to slowly ramp them up over the next few weeks/months.

There's also a lot more flow in the new tank. I'd assume the nems will find the spot they like on their own.

They're nice and healthy right now. I don't want to **** them off.

Might cut back the flow a little until they get established. Good luck

The more flow will probably cause them to move around. I'd make sure power heads are covered if possible. Bubble tips tend to get into power heads. I would also dim the LEDs to acclimate the nems to the new light.
