    haha won't that look bad..? hmmm if it went into the over flow it wouldn't be so bad i could get it out easily and it probably wouldn't get damaged in there haha.

    Friend of mine had a rather large carpet nem(12"-18" across) got tired of it eating his fish so he gave it away...less then a week later the thing wrapped itself around the top of the overflow and flooded his living room. He was pissed. Other friend of mine has a long tentacle that has met a power head on more then one occasion but has managed to survive each encounter. So yes anemones find there way wherever you don't want them on occasion lol.

    haha wow that sucks.... I guess I could see mine becoming a problem if it went into the over flow and clogged the drain pipes...

    Don't let the stories deter you. Generally the anemones stay put if they are happy. The carpet was still getting settled when it got caught in the overflow and the tank the lta was in wasn't the best maintained tank and prolly didn't get enough lighting hence the moving around so much. Then again there is always exceptions to the rules and sometimes they just like going for walks lol.
