Anemone?

I just started feeding my anemone's silverside frozen fish. They seem to really like them and have started growing a lot faster so to speak. The biggest one now that he is getting bigger has started moving I'm assuming because he needs more room to grow or has out grown where he was at, but he is getting pretty close to my hammer coral... Is this something I should be concerned about? He is now about 4 inches away from my hammer coral... Thank you for any advise

Your hammer's sweeper tentacles are quite long and will most likely sting the anemone when they extend at night...

If you have BTA nems, they really don't need to be fed. Add I would give away any to lfs that start to move.
I have probably given more than 20 clones away, just keep 2-3.

Only if the nem is downstream of the hammer.

Careful with feeding silversides too, the quality control can be lax and potentially dangerous.
