I have a problem, I am a newbie and could use some advice.
I have a 65G Reef Tank, which has been up for 9 weeks. No real problems to speak of except with a new Anenome I purchased yesterday. After acclimation I put it on one of my live rocks and within an hour or so he was fully extended and had planted himself on the rock. Everything was fine.
Then after the light went off, and sometime in the night he moved (which I know is not uncommon), except for the location, he moved into a cave. Not just any ordinary cave, but one with a very small opening, but with a larger chamber.
I fear that he can't get out, and that he will not get any light in there. Should I worry? Should I open the cave and take it out? Or should I just let nature take its course and realize that it is searching for its ideal spot and leave it to its own devices?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bernard
