    I just got my first bubble anemone on April 18 Friday. I acclimated then put him in. He is in the very back and I cant really see him. I was wondering if I could move him to a little cave like spot that would be perfect fit for his foot, can I try moving him, or should I just wait to see if he'll move on his own to a better spot?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Bubbletips can move around a lot. I would not move the anemone but wait a couple weeks and see where it ends up. Chances are that if you move the anemone it may just get up and move on its' own again.

    Don't move it. It is just acclimating itself to your lighting. It should slowly start to come out more and more each day. It may not be in the location you want, but they go where they want...

    Ok. Should I try to feed him when he's behind the rock?

    I would say not to feed it until it has settled into a spot.....

    Big problem about reef tanks is always having the tempation to get your hands in the tank and fiddle around. The best thing you can do is ensure you're water parameters are in check, and get your stinkin hands out of the tank! Give it time, your BTA will find a spot where it is most happy!

    Congrats to the new addition!!
