Muscle Anemone
 

I don't get it. This long tentacled anemone looks so graceful and
rather fragile, but overnight it shoved rocks twice its size and many
times its weight 10 inches across the tank. I've tried blocking its way
so I can have the aesthetic last word in its placement, but there's no
boulder to big for this powerful creature. Is this usual or maybe their
diet is too Atkins-ish.

maybe post a pic of it?
Sounds like a condylictus anemone. Mine moves around on occasion but once
settled in will remain for relatively extended periods.

I quarantined my condy to a corner by leaning the lone rock it was on all by
itself in the corner leaving about 8 inches to any other rock. It eats
regularly on mysis and 'pods I'm sure, but hasn't moved for a few months...
and has yet to move past this one rock.
