Question

Inverts in wierd spots


I teach biology and marine biology. I just got a 29-gallon marine tank with some cool inverts, but some of them have been getting cozier than I like. One of my two giant anemones moved overnight from the rock I placed him on to ON TOP of a sea peach. The peach still has one of his vents open to the outside, but otherwise, he's pretty well covered. Any suggests on how to get them separated? There's also a marine snail who has been pretty lovey-dovey with a sea-cucumber. I tried plucking him off, but he had a pretty good hold.

Will the cucumber and peach be okay if the snail and anemone don't decide to move? Any suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks!

R U raising them to eat? That's an odd combination of inhabitants (didn't know they sold peaches). Anemones will dance around until comfortable (sometimes they never settle in). Sea Cucumbers can be poisonous...

PHEW, you have a tank full of poison there. haha. If any one of those critters get angry.....they will shoot toxins and kill the other three. Sounds like a chemistry experiment. Ive never heard of a nem attaching to a sea peach or any other specimen at that.
