Just so you know, if you end up having to remove the anemone, a good trick
that I have read is to use an ice cube and rub it along the very bottom foot
area of the anemone. This, I have read, will make them let go pretty quickly
and will keep you from damaging it in any way. Maybe try feeding him less
but more often and see if the increase in feeding frequency makes him think
he is in prime real estate, thus he will want to stay.... Just a
suggestion...

Thanks Shane...yes I am feeding the anemone...gosh he eats about a
quarter
of a whole shrimp every three days...and when I first put him in he
seem to
have settled just fine, but like you said If this behavior continues
I will
move the leather and sadly him...if things get worse...I just have
never had
a Haitian pink tip display this kind of behavior...oh well...15
years counts
for nothing I guess...lol

Geno,
I have not viewed the pics, but have heard of this happening with
anemones.
One of the "challenges" of owning one I guess. I would try to move
the
leather, or if you are up to it, remove the anemone completely. This
adventure of his may never end, and it may get to more than one
coral before
it finds a final spot. Also, as far as I have heard, a walking
anemone is a
bad sign. He should have found a spot when first put in the tank,
and should
be staying there. Are you feeding the anemone? Have you seen any
signs of
poor health from the anemone? Loss of color, size etc? Or, he may
have just
adjusted to the tank and be looking for the right spot. If you move
the
leather and he finds a spot under the pcs and stays there, maybe
just leave
him. But if you move the leather and he just continues to move
around, then
maybe consider removing him...
Just a thought or 10,
Shane

Hey Guys & Gals
within the past 72 hours, my pink-tipped , Atlantic
anemone...has
started to move....was in the back of the tank barley visible from
the
front...now seems dead course for my yellow puff leather as can be
seen in
the following pics. My Question? do I just let nature take its
course?...I
have never experienced a pink-tipped being that aggressive to eat a
leather
as big as he is...or do I move one of the two?...the pink tipped
will be
hardier to move as it was located on a single small piece of Fiji,
now it is
just moving its foot along what ever path it chooses and we are
talking some
massive pieces of live rock here...the leather is also on a fairly
big
piece of Fiji...but I will gladly listen to all suggestion...even if
they
may mean doing nothing...FWIW...nothing has changed in the
tank...water
parameters all well within limits... if not better...the pink tipped
did
move originally about a month ago when setting up the 55...he moved
to a
less light portion of the tank...he is now headed for the PC
section...so I
do not no what gives?
TIA
Geno
