Your nem will settle in... I know its tempting to want to control it and have it settle in the perfect spot, but I have learned that mine will make its own home. Give it time and don't worry, really doubt a gorilla crab could kill it.

it has been 4 weeks and still have not found my anemone so he /or she is gone for ever i think
on the other hand it is time for me to do the remodel i have been putting off for months may i will find him then
i will post pics as the remodel starts and to the end of it this will take two or three months to do.
plan on upgrading the sump,protein skimmer,mp40s and new lights also will post before and after pics

thats too bad, sorry to hear about your nem. i LOVE nems and my wife just fell inlove with a semi sick one (just didnt look too healthy) so i took a chance on it its a super colored lta (white with blue tips) Its foot was not ripped but it just didnt have alot of stick if you know what i mean. So i put it in my nano which has deep sand bed, and for the first couple of days it was just letting the current take it, (even after stopping the flow for long periods of time) it just seemed to float there not wanting any food or what ever, just seemed ready to die imo. so i dug a hole in my sand bed and "planted" it in a med to low flow area and kinda burried its foot a little, now its thriving and enjoying life, it is ALOT bigger than i thought it would be as it decided to open up and come out to play with the Clowns. (although my clown are only mildly interested in it at best). But what can you do. Good luck with the uppgrades and Good luck if you choose another nem.

the build has taken a turn for the best i think. I think for me at least the 120 up grade is off because it has turned in to a 150 gallon build that is cool
i am still planing on all the up grades all will be new in fact they are a new custom 90 g sump, mp40es, radion lights two protein and a custom canopy
to fit the lights also some DYI moon lights here is the great thing i am going to asking for some ideas that have worked for you guys and use them in my
build so if you have any ideas that might help me along i would be indebted to you thanks
