how is he moving into the current, wouldn't he blow away in the water Maybe one of my fish are dragging him around???

nems have like a foot that can grasp onto things therefore they dont just fly around the tank

 

[windgrace03]

so he must be moving around when the lights go out good to know. might need to take him back to the lfs, since he is just goin to off him self some how lol.

check out the stickied anemone guide at the top of this forum section... may explain some things

Many do off themselves un-fortunately, and you know why now. They can have tremendous strength in their foot. It might be searching for conditions which better suit it, ie. Lighting, but many have been known too just pack up and kill things on their excursions for no apparent reason.

How large is your tank and what kind of lighting do you have? SH

If your nem moves a lot then he isn't happy, he is trying to right conditions for himself - flow, light etc. is your powerhead intake covered? Please make sure it is as they can get sucked in and mashed up by the fan, NOT nice or good for the nem!
