RBTA Question
I recently got a RBTA attached to its own rock and put it in the corner of my tank as you can see in this picture.
 Today I came home and the anemone has come off the rock and moved between the rocks and the back wall. Here's a pic that shows some of the anemone and the rock it used to be on.  My question is should I worry that it moved back there and also what is left on the rock? Is that aiptasia? |

Well I know several guys who like to go fishing so I didn't want them to get any ideas. That sign keeps my fish at ease.

They don't stay where you put them, and BTA's have a rep for wandering.
I'm not sure why you put it so far off to the side, it would need room to grow/stretch out, and it would be nice to see it better. You have a lot of corals on rocks, good chance it may walk across them stinging as it goes. I see some frogspawn and hammer that I personally would have placed lower, and most nems like light, I probably would have placed it up high and hoped it stayed put.

My advice is just wait and see... and be prepared to move some or all those euphyllias down near the sandbed if necessary. BTA's like to be mid to top, directly under light.

Just leave him be it will move around and find a spot it likes. Most likely if you move the anemone it will continue to wander
