Anemones are a great animal to keep in a home aquarium. They are fascinating creatures but sometimes exhibit strange behaviors. Anemones will move around the aquarium on their own to find a suitable place to host. They are looking for comfortable lighting, as well as flow.
Rock dwelling anemones (like bubble tips) are also searching for a nice hole to set their foot in, to feel protected. Same with sand dwelling anemones (like carpets) will “wander” looking for the best place. Sometimes in their travels they may not find the best place to “set up camp” and you may find you anemone hanging out under a rock or in the dark.
It is best for your anemone to find its own place but if it is hiding out for more than a day or two, you will need to move it so it can get some light. If one is kept in the darker areas for too long it misses out of a lot of food and will wither and possibly die. Most anemones are easily kept and with the right care will thrive!
