They look good!

He was put there on purpose.

Ok. Just got back from Erie. Before you ask, no there aren't any new additions. My tank is very full now. Just wanted to give the updated pics of my maxima and rbta. The rbta, though beautiful, decided that he wanted to live at the back of the tank...

Wow.. That's a beautiful clam.. Hope the rbta moves for you! Can you see it at all or is it really hard to look at?

You could move your powerheads or something, but you have to make sure the other corals are happy of course too.

I ended up moving the rock so it is now in the front. Here is hoping I didn't damage the foot.

The only problem with that is that if it isn't comfortable, it's not gonna stay there, it might move right back.

It can't, I moved the entire rock. It was one of the top arches and is no longer an arch.

Why can't the rbta move itself? I thought they'd move to where they are happy.

Haha yes but where the nem is happy is not always where the owner is happy

I understand that. LOL! I'd want to see it too. But how will he keep it from moving again? He said it can't move to the back again.

It hasn't moved from the new spot so I'm not expecting him to move.

Only moved a tad like I assumed it would. It is pretty retracted currently, I think my emerald crab got too close to it. Prior it was flourishing.
Clam is doing great too. Just waiting for him to actually set himself onto the rock I put him on. He sure is taking his time with it.
Side note, the moonlighting I got is garbage. Barely a glow in my tank. Owell, it'll do for now.

That would be my green pocillopora damicornis. It is the same thing as my pink damicornis...just green. It is more pointed due to having to reach for light prior to me owning it. Since then I've kept trying to move it up, but it hasn't done well adjusting. It is still on my sandbed because of this, with nice polyp extention... but it could be better so I'm thinking about moving it up soon.

Oh gotcha. Hey, if it's doing well already, why fix it?

Because it could be better...but in reality I have no place to put it, which is why it continues to stay anchored on a rock in my sandbed.
