    Bought a BTA have ?'s

    I bought a BTA yesterday and placed on a rock that I thought it would like and now it has moved one of my ledges. I don't think it is going to get much light under there, I tried to move it but my big Gold stripe maroon attacked my hand, and bite me. What is the best way to move it with out hurting the anemone or myself. Or should I wait and see if it moves by itself. Any suggestions would be a big help.

    TIA
    Michael

    It is common for Entacmaea quadricolor to move into seclusion in a new environment. It prefers to have it's foot in the shade and the rest out in the open and will sometimes go under a ledge to accomplish this. It is best to let it determine where it wants to set up housekeeping. It will move again whenever it feels like it.

    Good luck,
