Am I the only one?

Apparently I have the unique ability of selecting beautiful anemones.......that love LOOKING AT MY BACK GLASS!!!!! Lol. First, my large haddoni. It was in my 93 cube and positioned itself in the very back of the tank only visible to the artificial sun above it, lol. So when I combined my tanks and moved him to my 180, I set up the perfect spot. He stayed for about 2-3 weeks and then inched his foot around the rock to face the back glass. I recently added a large purple long tentacle anemone and it has taken it about a week or two to finally settle in......BEHIND THE ROCK STRUCTURE, FACING THE BACK GLASS. They are healthy so I leave them alone but good grief, what's the point if the only glimpse you get of them is their foot glued to the bottom of the tank when you empty the skimmer cup. Lol

My next tank will be on wheels....so I can spin it around if this happens again.

I think Diana may be onto something about the flow / lighting. Maybe the back just so happens to be the perfect spot in terms of flow lol
