hey all.
tonight my carpet anemone decided it was time to move. This is the second time and this time it has disappeared into the rocks. Is this normal or should I try and remove the rocks to git it out? My clarki seems distraught because he can't push his way in anymore. This morning I used some JJ to get rid of some aptasia but I have done this before and not affected the anemone. I'm bummin because it's the bottom of the tank and I have to take out a bunch-o rocks to do it.
Or should I just let it be?
any ideas?

thanks...
Jeff

Anemones generally move around until they find a spot (w/ good flow and lighting) they like. Unnecessary stress may harm him so i'd say leave him and give him a few days.

I had the same problem with my Haddoni after a couple of aiptasia sprung up within stinging distance. Took weeks before it settled down again.

You can just see an edge of him...
I'll leave him be....
