Heyo,

Well a little background, I've had my Sabae Anemone and Tomato Clownfish for almost 2 years now. They have both been living in the exact same corner of my tank for the two years. It has only been recently, the past 3 days, that I have noticed my Sabae has moved under and into a cave in the rock work that I have situated next to it. The only recent changes I have done to the tank are that I have added an K.nano powerhead just to get the debris out from behind the rock work. My water chemistry has not changed/gone sour and I cant figure out why it would move. I don't want it to keep moving because its heading to a place where I'll have to move about 40+/- pounds of rock to get it out.

Any reasons on why it would be relocating? I have some corals close by that will soon be in jeopardy.. Anything I can do to make it stop? haha..

Thanks,
JB

Changes in flow (Even minor) can cause them to move. And it is the fortunate hobbyist that has an anemone that stays in one place :D
You could try to move additional flow to the opposite corner and see if it move into another direction.

I don't know about sebae anemonies, but my RBTA was content for a couple years and started to move around when it decided to split.
