Are anemones naturally drawn to each other in an aquarium fish tank?
Anemones are invertebrates characterized by a bag of skin filled with water, a small mouth in the center of the disc-shaped body, and tentacles radiating out. Some species have a sucker-like foot that enables them to move around.MotilityAnemones are semi-sessile, meaning that they typically attach to a specific surface, but also have a mechanism to move around.Reasons for MotilityAnemones require high-intensity light, moderate to heavy water flow, and access to food sources. If the conditions are not optimal, the anemone will move around the tank looking for a better location.Anemone AttractionAnemones are not drawn to each other.
